/**
* Evaluates the logarithm of the probability density function (PDF) for a gamma distribution with shape parameter `alpha` and rate parameter `beta` at a value `x`.
*
* @private
* @param {number} x - input value
* @param {NonNegativeNumber} alpha - shape parameter
* @param {PositiveNumber} beta - rate parameter
* @returns {number} evaluated logPDF
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( 2.0, 0.5, 1.0 );
* // returns ~-2.919
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( 0.1, 1.0, 1.0 );
* // returns ~-0.1
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( -1.0, 4.0, 2.0 );
* // returns -Infinity
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( NaN, 0.6, 1.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var y = logpdf( 0.0, 1.0, NaN );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* // Negative shape parameter:
* var y = logpdf( 2.0, -1.0, 1.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* // Negative rate parameter:
* var y = logpdf( 2.0, 1.0, -1.0 );
* // returns NaN
