Running JConsole from a previous JDK, and attaching to jdk-23 (after [JDK-8326666](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8326666): Remove the Java Management Extension (JMX) Subject Delegation feature), the MBean tab is blank.
In javax/management/remote/rmi/RMIConnectionImpl.java:
addNotificationListener rejects a non-null delegationSubjects array, but older JDKs will send such an array. It could accept the array, and only reject/throw if it contains a non-null Subject (i.e. if an attempt to use subject delegation is really happening).
Manually testing JConsole, the MBean tab is fully populated and usable.
-------------
Commit messages:
- Remove unnecessary Subject array in RMIConnectionImpl, update docs in RMIConnection
- JConsole's MBean tab is blank after JMX Subject Delegation removal.
