This is a follow-up to PR duckdb#630. It makes the following changes to newly added Scalar Functions Java API: - moves exception and registered shell classes into the `DuckDBFunction.java` - removes abstract classes for vector reader and writer - removes `DuckDBScalarContext` and `DuckDBScalarRow` in favour of streaming plain indices (as a `LongStream`) from the input data chunk; the row object inteface appeared to have an unintended overhead of creating a Java object for every input row that we would like to avoid. And without it the context abstraction appeared to be unnecessary Null-propagation handling is changed the following way: - null propagation on Java side is enabled only for primitive callbacks (set automatically) and not exposed to the user, null propagation support for object callbacks is removed - null propagation on DuckDB engine side ( `duckdb_scalar_function_set_special_handling` C API call skip) is also enabled automatically only for primitive callbacks, but it is additionally exposed to users as `withNullInNullOut()` builder call (replaces awkwardly named `withSpecialHandling()`); in some cases NULLs still can be passed to callbacks wheh `withNullInNullOut()` is set so callback still must check for nulls Testing: more tests added aroung the null handling

This PR is a follow-up to duckdb#630 and duckdb#637. It removes JNI utilities specific to scalar functions in favour of more generic `GlobalRefHolder` utility. Testing: no functional changes, no new tests
