TS >>> is a logical right shift (zero-fills from the left), but TSTL was mapping it to Lua's >> which is arithmetic (sign-extends). This gave wrong results for negative numbers: e.g. -1 >>> 0 should be 4294967295 but produced -1. Fix by masking to unsigned 32-bit first: (left & 0xFFFFFFFF) >> right. The Lua 5.2 (bit32.rshift) and LuaJIT (bit.rshift) paths were already correct.
