[issue21422] int << 0: return the number unmodified

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

BTW, there's also a behaviour change here.  Before the patch:

>>> True << 0
1

After the patch:

>>> True << 0
True

Which demonstrates another good reason to avoid trivial-looking optimisations: it's far too easy to accidentally change behaviour.
