Jumping from a simple Python implementation to the fully hardware
accelerated crc32c library basically deletes any crc32c related
bottlenecks:
crc32c.py disk (1MiB) w/ crc32c lib: 0m0.027s
crc32c.py disk (1MiB) w/o crc32c lib: 0m0.844s
This uses the same try-import trick we use for inotify_simple, so we get
the speed improvement without losing portability.

In dbgbmap.py:
dbgbmap.py w/ crc32c lib: 0m0.273s
dbgbmap.py w/o crc32c lib: 0m0.697s
dbgbmap.py w/ crc32c lib --no-ckdata: 0m0.269s
dbgbmap.py w/o crc32c lib --no-ckdata: 0m0.490s
dbgbmap.old.py: 0m0.231s
The bulk of the runtime is still in Rbyd.fetch, but this is now
dominated by leb128 decoding, which makes sense. We do ~twice as many
fetches in the new dbgbmap.py in order to calculate the gcksum (which
we then ignore...).
