RFR: 8314592: Add shortcut to SymbolLookup::find

While `SymbolLookup` correctly uses an `Optional` return to denote whether a symbol has been found by the lookup or not (which enables composition of symbol lookups), many clients end up just calling `Optional::get`, or `Optional::orElseThrow()` on the result.

This PR proposes to add a convenience method `SymbolLookup::findOrThrow` that will do a lookup and, if no symbol can be found, throws an `IllegalArgumentException` with a relevant exception message.
