crcgen: utility program to generate CRC tables

Small utility program to generate CRC tables in both C and Perl
formats.  Note: we don't actually need a true CRC, which is what this
generates.  We may want to consider going to a "generalized CRC",
meaning a randomly generated set of 8 bytewise permutations.  These
have the advantage of not being linear, while having the same software
implementation as a true CRC.
