GCC 15 generates code that segfaults on newer hardware when running tests. See numpygh-28991 for details. A fix is to always require alignment, which can be done by setting `NPY_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED = 1`. We retain `NPY_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED` here for downstream compatibility in the 2.3.x release series, but do remove its use in our own code. The associated macro `NPY_USE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS` could also be removed as it is always 0, but that is left for another PR.
