Finalise support for Numpy 2.0

This commit brings the Qiskit test suite to a passing state (with all
optionals installed) with Numpy 2.0.0b1, building on previous commits
that handled much of the rest of the changing requirements:

- gh-10890
- gh-10891
- gh-10892
- gh-10897
- gh-11023

Notably, this commit did not actually require a rebuild of Qiskit,
despite us compiling against Numpy; it seems to happen that the C API
stuff we use via `rust-numpy` (which loads the Numpy C extensions
dynamically during module initialisation) hasn't changed.

The main changes are:

- adapting to the changed `copy=None` and `copy=False` semantics in
  `array` and `asarray`.
- making sure all our implementers of `__array__` accept both `dtype`
  and `copy` arguments.
