This adds an almost random "sanity check" to `PyArray_EquivTypes` for the sole purpose of allowing boost::python compiled libs to _not crash_. boost::python is buggy, it needs to be fixed. This may break them (I am unsure), because some conversions which used to work may fail here (if they worked, they only worked because random type data may have matched up correctly for our scalar types). We could error, or warn or... but I hope boost::python will just fix this soon enough and future us can just delete the whole branch. Replaces numpygh-20507
