Fix for nalphabits == 0
PR description:
This PR fixes the runtime error seen in recent UBSAN IBs that was reported in #46403.
The fix is to add a short circuit to the offending conditional, so that when nalphabits is zero, the negative bit shift is never evaluated. This has no effect on the end results because newalpha is never used when nalphabits is zero.
Fixes #46403
PR validation:
I was able to reproduce the runtime error reported in #46403 within the 23634.0 workflow, and after adding this short circuit, the same workflow gives no error.
