Re: Checkstyle RedundantThrowsCheck

I also find the HiddenField check annoying. So I removed the two rules
that were talked about and removed the Checkstyle 3.5 configuration. I
haven't deleted the v4 configuration due to Vincent's comment (I've also
not upgraded, yet), so I let it stay for the moment. We can always
remove it later.
