crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, tests, fixes #3317

fixing only the (generic) slice-by-8 crc32 implementation,
it is assumed that CPUs supporting CLMUL can also efficiently
and correctly deal with unaligned accesses.

slice-by-8 is used e.g. on ARM cpus and they might not (efficiently)
support unaligned memory access, leading to bus errors or low
performance.

(cherry picked from commit f9cd6f7512)
