casting.py: Filter WSL1 + np.longdouble warning

This commit filters the following warning:

> UserWarning: Signature b'\x00\xd0\xcc\xcc\xcc\xcc\xcc\xcc\xfb\xbf\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' for
> <class 'numpy.longdouble'> does not match any known type: falling back to type probe function.
> This warnings [sic] indicates broken support for the dtype!
>  machar = _get_machar(dtype)

 To ensure that this warning is only filtered on WSL1, we try to detect WSL
 by checking for a WSL-specific string from the uname, which appears to be
 endorsed by WSL devs.
 (microsoft/WSL#4555 (comment))

 I also tried checking the `WSL_INTEROP` and `WSL_DISTRO_NAME` environment
 variables as suggested in the above linked issues, but I preferred reusing
 the `platform` module that was already imported inside `casting.py`.

 There is perhaps a more thorough approach where we collect all raised warnings,
 test the collected warnings, etc. but I didn't want to overcomplicate things.
