Load unaligned data for SIMD processing to avoid segv

We access G_N at indexes that are not necessarily 32-byte aligned,
leading to segfaults. Use simde_mm256_loadu_si256() to load from memory
at an unaligned memory address to avoid the segfault.

Discovered using clang; it is unclear why gcc did not encounter the same
segfault.
