Withdrawing this. Spec for [`ClassHierachyResolver.ofResourceParsing`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/classfile/ClassHierarchyResolver.html#ofResourceParsing(java.util.function.Function)) states:

> Any [IOException](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/io/IOException.html) from the provided input stream is rethrown as an [UncheckedIOException](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/io/UncheckedIOException.html) in [getClassInfo(ClassDesc)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/classfile/ClassHierarchyResolver.html#getClassInfo(java.lang.constant.ClassDesc)).
