JDK 9 RFR to remove a raw lint warning from java/lang/invoke/MethodHandleImpl.java

[Joe Darcy]

Hello,

The recent changeset for

     8027827: Improve performance of catchException combinator
     8034120: MethodHandles.catchException doesn't handle 
VarargsCollector right

introduced a raw lint warning to the core libraries. Please review the 
patch below which removes the warning by adding "<? extends Throwable>" 
to the type the exType parameter of the method. A JDK build succeeds 
with the new signature in place.

Thanks,

-Joe
