Although `IllegalArgumentException` seems reasonable here, the current contract of this constructor is to throw `IOException` and that then gets propagated through the public `FileSystemProvider.newFileSystem(...)` API which is specified to throw `IOException`.

So we will either have to throw `IOException` here (preferable) or we have to catch `IllegalArgumentException` at the call sites of this constructor and then rethrow it as a `IOException`, to prevent the unspecified `IllegalArgumentException` propagating out of the `FileSystemProvider.newFileSystem(...)` API.
