I ran into an issue where I have a capture group defined, that is actually optional. Whenever that group cannot be matched (which is ok since it is optional) the regex.getText(testString, "optionalCaptureGroupName") call would return a string literal "null" instead of an empty string "".

This PR provides a test showcasing the problem and a code adaption fixing the issue.

when an optional capture group is actually not matched
since it no longer supports jdk's older than 9:

> $ ~/bin/install-jdk.sh --target "/home/travis/oraclejdk8" --workspace "/home/travis/.cache/install-jdk" --feature "8" --license "BCL"
> Ignoring license option: BCL -- using GPLv2+CE by default
> install-jdk.sh 2020-06-02
> Expected feature release number in range of 9 to 16, but got: 8

Hey, @simschla, thanks a lot for this change - I'm about to accept it, sorry for the delay - I missed this PR somehow.

This is a breaking change, however I feel it's a correct one. Could you answer two small questions?
