GCC 15 generates code that segfaults on newer hardware when running tests. See gh-28991 for details. A fix is to always require alignment, which can be done by setting NPY_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED = 1.

We completely remove NPY_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED here in order to test downstream compatibility before the 2.4 release. It is not expected to cause problems, but one never knows. The associated macro NPY_USE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS could also be removed as it is always 0, but that is left for another PR.

Closes #28991.
