Make sure bounding box is attached as order F

[WilliamJamieson]

spacetelescope/gwcs#522 introduced a warning that occurs when a bounding box is detected by the wcs to be marked as C ordered (y, x ordering) rather than F ordered (x, y ordering). GWCS will always assume/convert to F ordering. This warning was introduced because behavior of the bounding box is different depending on if box was attached (in the conventional fashion) to the transform before forming the wcs or if it was attached through the wcs directly (interpretations of the same tuple will be reversed).

This PR reviews all the instances uncovered by this warning and makes sure all the bounding box attachments are done so that they are attached and marked as F ordered boxes meaning that all these warnings have been resolved. Indeed, the regression tests run here: https://github.com/spacetelescope/RegressionTests/actions/runs/11862459894/job/33062001090 specifically turned this new warning from GWCS into an error to ensure that all these circumstances were resolved correctly.

Tasks

• request a review from someone specific, to avoid making the maintainers review every PR
• add a build milestone, i.e. Build 11.3 (use the latest build if not sure)
• Does this PR change user-facing code / API? (if not, label with no-changelog-entry-needed)
  • write news fragment(s) in changes/: echo "changed something" > changes/<PR#>.<changetype>.rst (see below for change types)
  • update or add relevant tests
  • update relevant docstrings and / or docs/ page
  • start a regression test and include a link to the running job (click here for instructions)
    • Do truth files need to be updated ("okified")?
      • after the reviewer has approved these changes, run okify_regtests to update the truth files
• if a JIRA ticket exists, make sure it is resolved properly
