Exploiting that fact, I decided to just condense out those messages (only
the ones coming from Java's own JMX classes, outside our power to fix)
right at the source, by putting a small state machine in the vfprintf hook
to recognize and not log them. That's in PR #276.

Also in that PR, changes to fix the remaining -Xcheck:jni messages that
were really coming from PL/Java. For the moment, in my environment,
with PR #275 and #276 applied, it builds and tests -Xcheck:jni clean.

That should eliminate any need for doing fancy stuff with those messages
in the CI configuration. Any new issues that crop up in development later
ought to produce a smaller volume of messages that we want to know about.
