Looking for a reviewer for this trivial change to clarify the long outstanding
behavior of registererDriver:

registerDriver has thrown this NPE since the early days of DriverManager (1997)
so it was requested that we clarify this.
Alan, could you please confirm whether I need a CCC given this behavior has
been there since JDBC 1.0 and this just adds the @exception and there is no
behavior change.
