Can I please get a review for this change which proposes to remove the 
`CHECK_EXCEPTION_NULL_FAIL` macro from the `java` launcher code?

This addresses https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8333714. As noted in that 
JBS issue, in a recent PR discussion, it was suggested 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/18786#issuecomment-2147452633 that this 
macro should be removed and the failure of a JNI specified operation (the ones 
for which this macro is being used) should be determined based on a `NULL` 
value returned from that function. The commit in this PR removes this macros 
and updates the call sites to do a `NULL` check.

Given the nature of this change, no new tests have been added. tier1, tier2 and 
tier3 testing passed successfully with these changes.
