Fix a recent regression in array transfer performance caused by an extra array copy added here.
The copy was included to ensure the array data are properly transposed on the server side following a shallow numpy transpose (where the buffer remains the same and an array-metadata flag is set to indicate that the array was transposed). The change fixed #3757, but added overhead. This PR only makes the extra copy for the shallow-transpose case, which should restore performance for the common case.
