    [ARIES-2108] Catch NoClassDefFoundError when loading Service-Providers
    
    Fixes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-2108.
    
    Loading ServiceProvider instances, which depend on classes absent at
    runtime (e.g. because they are contained in an optional dependency)
    throws a NoClassDefFoundError instead of a ClassNotFoundException,
    which is propagated to the caller of
    ProviderBundleTrackerCustomizer.addingBundle() and leads to an empty
    list of providers.
    Instead a NoClassDefFoundError should be handled like a
    ClassNotFoundException.
    
    The reason for this different exception in this case is that although
    the service class is found it cannot be defined.
    
    The javadoc of 'NoClassDefFoundError' states:
    "Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to
    load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as
    part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no
    definition of the class could be found."
    
    The javadoc of 'ClassNotFoundException' states:
    "Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string
    name using:
    - The forName method in class Class.
    - The findSystemClass method in class ClassLoader .
    - The loadClass method in class ClassLoader.
    but no definition for the class with the specified name could be found."
