Add CRC-32C support to fs-verity, to provide a faster alternative to SHA-256 for users who want integrity-only (not authenticity), i.e. who want to detect only accidental corruption, not malicious changes. CRC-32C is chosen over CRC-32 because the CRC-32C polynomial is believed to provide slightly better error-detection properties; and CRC-32C is just as fast (or can be just as fast) as CRC-32, or even faster e.g. on some x86 processors that have a CRC-32C instruction but not CRC-32. We use "crc32c" from the crypto API, so the polynomial convention is bitwise little-endian, the digest is bytewise little-endian, and the CRC bits are inverted at the beginning and end (which is desirable).
