The detail of whether an `InputStream` or `OutputStream` is aligned to 8- or 64-byte boundary had contaminated a number of IPC functions, causing generated metadata (plus padding, if any) to be non-deterministic. This introduces a new `ipc::AlignStream` function and the desired use is to align the stream at the highest level possible. I've implemented the changes in the Python tensor serialization code paths. I removed various cruft where alignment issues leaked into the API
