weibull_distribution accepts shape == 0, but shape should be >0

Description
In function check_weibull_shape()
in file math/distributions/weibull.hpp
a domain error is only raised if shape < 0
. The error condition should probably be shape <= 0
. With shape == 0
, the Weibull distribution is not well-defined. Also, shape == 0
contradicts the error message in the same function.
E.g., the following example raises an overflow error, but not a domain error (as would be more appropriate IMHO):
#include <boost/math/distributions/weibull.hpp> using namespace boost::math; int main() { std::cout << mean(weibull(0)) << std::endl; }
