Fix misalignment in Dired when dired-directory is a cons

* lisp/dired.el (dired--need-align-p, dired--align-all-files):
New defuns.
(dired-internal-noselect): Call dired--align-all-files when
dired-directory is a cons (Bug#27762).
* test/lisp/dired-tests.el (dired-test-bug27762): Test should pass.
