[java] Fix AvoidThrowingNewInstanceOfSameException false positive (#6858)

* [java] Fix AvoidThrowingNewInstanceOfSameException false positive

The rule flagged catch blocks that throw a new instance of the same
exception type, even when the new exception doesn't reference the
caught exception at all (e.g. a brand new message string). It now
requires that the constructor argument actually reference the caught
exception variable, either directly or as a method-call receiver
(e.g. se.getMessage()).

Fixes #6844

* Indentation

* [docs] Update release notes
