JDK 8 code review request for 6380161 (reflect) Exception from newInstance() not chained to cause.

[Joe Darcy]

Hello.

Please review this small fix, developed after I went through my open bug 
list; patch below, webrev at:

    6380161 (reflect) Exception from newInstance() not chained to cause.
    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/6380161.0/

Several call to initCause are added to plumb up caused-by exception 
chains to exception types without constructors taking a cause.  In 
addition, multi-catch is added in on location.

I looked for similar issues in Constructor, Method, and Executable, but 
there weren't any.

Thanks,

-Joe
