RFR: 8338471: Refactor Method::get_new_method() for better NoSuchMethodError handling [v3]

Mon Sep 9 21:11:24 UTC 2024

> This patch cleans up the use of `get_new_method()` so callers don't have to worry about throwing `NoSuchMethodError`. The method is refactored to throw the error and avoid ever returning nullptr. Verified with tier1-5 tests.
