RFR: (8031737) CHECK_NULL and CHECK_EXCEPTION macros cleanup

[Phil Race]

Roger,

Yes, I can do that.

  I see here 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/webrev-check-cleanup-8031737/ that
1) There was a previous version of these macros.
Looks like no need to worry about that I just need the latest version.
2) There was also a change to Version.c. I can include that if you think it
appropriate .. or omit it if you think its not essential.

-phil.
