What is the bug or the crash?

QNSPECT users almost always are working within a defined area of interest such as a polygon watershed basin. Align Rasters currently clips by corner coordinates providing a rectangular output. If Clip Raster by Mask Layer could be used in Align Rasters the output would be based on the shape of the area of interest.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to Align Rasters Add reference Raster and Rasters to Align Add a polygon vector file as the Clipping Extent

Versions

There are mask by layer algorithms available in QGIS. A user can use them on inputs or outputs of align rasters tool to get desired behaviour, but I agree this would be a good feature to add.
