There are two parts, one is lib/crc.c, which contains only the crc
function, the other is command/crc.c, which is a command to calculate
the crc of selected file. Although it's not necessary to have a
command, but it can 1) serve as an example of how to use the crc
function, 2) as a cheap way to verify if a file is read correctly by
the fs driver.
