[diskann-wide] Test unaligned loads properly.

[Mark Hildebrand (hildebrandmw)]

Test under-aligned loads and stores in diskann-wide and documents that there are no alignment restrictions on the associated pointer.

This was supposed to be in #981 but somehow didn't make it into the diff.

Pull request overview

This PR completes the diskann-wide portion of unaligned SIMD load/store support by documenting that pointer alignment is unrestricted and strengthening tests to exercise byte-level under-alignment.

Changes:

• Updates SIMDVector load/store documentation to remove scalar-alignment requirements.
• Reworks load/store test utilities to validate every byte offset, including predicated access paths.
• Adds bytemuck test support for safe byte-slice comparisons in test helpers.
