#1920: when considering a block starting by "while 0", the compiler optimized the
whole construct away, even when an 'else' clause is present::
while 0:
print("no")
else:
print("yes")
did not generate any code at all.
Now the compiler emits the 'else' block, like it already does for 'if' statements.
Backport of r60265.
