JP-3664: Numpy 2.0 exposed implicit type promotion

[tapastro]

Partially addresses JP-3664

Closes jwst/#8578
Partially addresses jwst/#8580

This PR addresses a bug exposed by testing numpy 2.0 - the irs2 datamodel specifies arrays to be of type uint8, but operations in refpix promoted them to uint16 implicitly in numpy<2.0. Numpy 2.0 does not implicitly type promote in this case, leading to an integer overflow. This PR updates the specified array datatype to uint16.

Thanks! The changes look good to me (although a regtest run to be safe seems worthwhile).

I tested saving an irs2 model (with uint8 for OUTPUT and ODD_EVEN) and loading with the new schema. The data is safely cast to uint16 on load (in numpy <2 and 2.1).

I also suggest we leave spacetelescope/jwst#8580 open as this PR doesn't fully address all the numpy 2.0 issues with jwst.

[tapastro]

Agreed on keeping the issue open, and I'll get a regtest run soon. I have an stcal PR out as well, and I suppose I'll need a JWST PR to get the numpy upper limit out of the way.

Started a regression test run here:

EDIT: make that https://plwishmaster.stsci.edu:8081/job/RT/job/JWST-Developers-Pull-Requests/1674/

Last set of regtests were failing due to a day of Jenkins issues. Started a new set against jwst/master to check for compatibility issues with numpy<2: https://plwishmaster.stsci.edu:8081/job/RT/job/JWST-Developers-Pull-Requests/1691/
