Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
* Current CRC implementation in NuttX in some areas is not compatible with other platforms (i.e. Linux).
* There various CRC16 and CRC32 algorithms out there, while there is no one common standard.
* CRC changes impacts various storage, transmission, etc, and may impact self-compatibility.
### Describe the solution you'd like
* We need to provide implementations for other commonly used CRC.
* We need explicit implementation of various CRC with clearly distinguishable function name or parameters.
* In order to maintain backward-compatibility any change in defaults may happen in next major release (13.0).
* Core crc defaults should stay untouched.
* Where necessary and possible some components crc implementation may change in order to improve compatibility with other platforms.
* User code may choose what CRC implementation to use, but core components should not allow KConfig like CRC algo selection as this will impact NuttX self-compatibility.
