** If a hand has 4 groups + 0 pairs: Set to tenpai

For "blocks" = (taatsu/pairs/groups). This is identical to the above calculation, but assumes all hands have a pair, then adds +1 shanten if it doesn't actually have a pair. This generalization works in all cases except when a hand waits on a pair, which is why the "4 groups + 0 pair = tenpai" exception is in place.
