RFR: 8366517: DateFormatSymbols(Locale) throws NPE if Locale argument is null

Adding a `@throws` clause for NPE in `java.text.DateFormatSymbols(Locale)` constructor. The bug suggests it should  throw a `MissingResourceException`, but I don't think we can change this long standing behavior. Instead, explicitly specify the NPE in the javadoc.
