Simplify Postgres array alignment fix using align(1)

This is a much cleaner fix for the "panic: incorrect alignment" error
in postgres_types.zig:242. Instead of complex memory allocation, simply
set all struct fields to align(1) which allows the struct to work with
any alignment from network data.

Changes:
- Added `align(1)` to all i32 fields in PostgresBinarySingleDimensionArray
- Added `@alignCast` in slice() method to handle the alignment conversion
- Reverted complex memory allocation approach for simpler solution

This maintains the original struct layout and behavior while fixing
the alignment panic when casting network data to struct pointers.
