The gcc version in CentOS 7 is 4.8.2 (released in Mar 2013).
But Arm added the support for 'arm_acle.h' in gcc 5.1 (released in Jun 2014).
And there are also some bugs in Arm gcc 4.8.
The patch is to detect GCC(greater than 5.1) version for Arm crc32c.

ARMv8 (AArch64) CPUs implement the CRC32 extension which is implemented by inline assembly ,
so they can also benefit from hardware acceleration in IO-intensive workloads.
The patch optimizes crc32c calculate with the armv8 crypto instruction(Intrinsics) when available
rather than original linear crc instructions.

Make mariadb crc32 lib platform independent
It looks strange that someone can make use of 2 crc libraries
(Power64 or AArch64) at the same time.
The patch sets macros 'CRC32_LIBRARY' to make platform independence as an optional crc32 library.
