Description
As outlined by author in the issue #1667, the current implementation retrieves IfcAlignment components with coordinates in local space only. According to the IFC documentation, each IfcAlignment has a placement relative to a coordinate system, which was previously not included in the alignment object results and was requested by the user in the issue report.
IfcCartesianPoint representing the project origin, which needs to be used as the reference coordinate system for the IfcAlignment object

Proposal
This PR adds a FlattenedWorldTransformMatrix field to the alignment object that includes the world coordinate position and rotation information.

Note that the existing FlatCoordinationMatrix field do not contain world transformation data. It's purpose should be documented and discussed in a separate issue.
Example
Users can access and reconstruct the world transformation matrix as follows:
Then the coordinates can be computed in world space as follows:
