Improve ClassLoaderUtils.loadClassWithTCCL()

There are scenarios when we do not have a Thread Context Class Loader,
such as when executing from Netty's GlobalEventExecutor. When we attempt
to load a class in that scenario, the method will throw a NPE, which
exposes users which can deal with the class not being able to load
to a RuntimeException -- preventing recovery.

Detect the case when TCCL is null and report a failure to load the class,
noting the reason for the failure.
