feat(hw_crc): add support for HW computed CRC
Added support for HW computed CRC using Arm ACLE intrinsics.
These are built-in intrinsics available for ARMv8.1-A, and
onwards.
These intrinsics are enabled via '-march=armv8-a+crc' compile
switch for ARMv8-A (supports CRC instructions optionally).
HW CRC support is enabled unconditionally in BL2 for all Arm
platforms.
HW CRC calculation is verified offline to ensure a similar
result as its respective ZLib utility function.
HW CRC calculation support will be used in the upcoming
firmware update patches.
