ARMv8 introduced special CPU instructions for calculating CRC-32C. Use them, when available, for speed. Like with the similar Intel CRC instructions, several factors affect whether the instructions can be used. The compiler intrinsics for them must be supported by the compiler, and the instructions must be supported by the target architecture. If the compilation target architecture does not support the instructions, but adding "-march=armv8-a+crc" makes them available, then we compile the code with a runtime check to determine if the host we're running on supports them or not. For the runtime check, use glibc getauxval() function. Unfortunately, that's not very portable, but I couldn't find any more portable way to do it. If getauxval() is not available, the CRC instructions will still be used if the target architecture supports them without any additional compiler flags, but the runtime check will not be available.
