RFR: (8030875) Macros for checking and returning on exceptions

[roger riggs]

Hi David,

The CHECK_RETURN macros have existed in java.net for some time and
I have not seen any empty statement warnings.

The CHECK_EXCEPTION macros are new and does not have any uses yet.
I don't plan to do any wholesale modification of current sources.

The macros always produce a valid statement;  (though my c/c++ may be a 
bit rusty).

(Note that it has been requested to rename the macros to include a 
JNU_prefix
to be consistent with other macros in jni_util.h. I will propose a 
separate set of changes for that).

Roger
