refactor: Replace manual resource handling with try-with-resources (#4593)

# Description of Changes


Explanation on try-with-resource:

> Many resources in Java need be closed after they have been used. If
they are not, the garbage collector cannot reclaim the resources'
memory, and they are still considered to be in use by the operating
system. Such resources are considered to be leaked, which can lead to
performance issues.
> 
> Java 7 introduced the try-with-resources statement, which guarantees
that the resource in question will be closed.
> 
> try (InputStream input = Files.newInputStream(path)) {
>   // "input" will be closed after the execution of this block
> }
> 
> This syntax is safer than the traditional method using try, catch, and
finally and hence should be preferred.
