Description
Functions in swift that are throwing have a special calling convention so we'll need the help of thunks on the Swift side for this.
Once we have those, the imported methods should mirror the throwing behavior and be declared checked throwing in Java (?).
Typed throws would be step 2 of this.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Begin by tracing the jextract import path and the Swift-side thunk work described in the issue; done means throwing Swift functions import with matching behavior and are declared as checked-throwing Java methods, with typed throws left for a later step.
