RFR: 8341608: jdeps in JDK 23 crashes when parsing signatures while jdeps in JDK 22 works fine [v2]

> When jdeps was migrated from old classfile to ClassFile API, the parsing semantic changed - error checks are now made lazily, and nested crashes from malformed signature or other problems is now latent, after a `ClassModel` instance is available. (The old error check existed only for constructing a `ClassModel`)
> 
> To address this issue, I have updated the way of iterating class files to be handler/consumer based like in the ClassFile API. This has the advantage that when one invocation of the handler fails of a `ClassFileError`, other invocations for other class files can proceed, and the exception handler has sufficient information to report a useful message indicating the source of error.

> Now, jdeps shows the bad class files. Inspection into the files reveal that proguard incorrectly deleted the simple class names with trailing `$`, for example, the original signature of the broken ParArray was `Lscala/collection/parallel/mutable/ParArray<TT;>.ParArrayIterator$;`, so the `ParArrayIterator$` part was incorrectly dropped by proguard.
