RFR 8252537: Replace @exception with @throws for core-libs

[Martin Buchholz]

Thanks for doing this!

15 years ago I considered taking on this task, eventually backing away
because it was too much work (!).  But I made sure most of the classes
I maintained were using @throws.

When considering this, I thought that tidying the whitespace after
conversion would be a big part of the task, even though it is
technically non-essential.  Current use of whitespace with @throws is
inconsistent, as you have seen.
