Deprecating MultiException

[sbordet]

Now that every Throwable can have suppressed Throwables, is there a reason to keep MultiException around ?

I think the class is still needed. At the very least it provides useful/readable utility methods to make it clear that multiple exceptions are expected and that they are being aggregated.

But I also think there is a difference between and exception with suppressed exceptions, which can mean there was an exception and other things were thrown while handling it, vs a MultiException that indicates multiple probably independent failures occurred and one of them does not suppress the others.

However, I do think that we can perhaps update the class and remove it's own internal array list and just use the suppressed list.
