RFR: 8280422: thread_from_jni_environment can never return NULL

Analysing the code and its use (see JBS issue for gory details) we can see that `thread_from_jni_environment` can never actually return NULL, so we change it to not appear to do so and thus keep static analysis tools happy.  We also always validate the incoming JNIEnv for debug builds and scrap the unused `VerifyJNIEnvThread` flag.

Testing: tiers 1-5

Thanks,
David
