Catch clause should do more than just rethrow

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.CatchClauseOnlyRethrowsArtifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

A catch clause that only rethrows the caught exception is unnecessary. Letting the exception bubble up as normal achieves the same result with less code. Such catch blocks add visual noise and indentation without changing program behavior.
