specify SSE42 'target' attribute for Fast_CRC32()

Browse Source 
Summary:
if we enable SSE42 globally when compiling the tree for preparing a
portable binary, which could be running on CPU w/o SSE42 instructions
even the GCC on the building host is able to emit SSE42 code, this leads
to illegal instruction errors on machines not supporting SSE42. to solve
this problem, crc32 detects the supported instruction at runtime, and
selects the supported CRC32 implementation according to the result of
`cpuid`. but intrinics like "_mm_crc32_u64()" will not be available
unless the "target" machine is appropriately specified in the command
line, like "-msse42", or using the "target" attribute.

we could pass "-msse42" only when compiling crc32c.cc, and allow the
compiler to generate the SSE42 instructions, but we are still at the
risk of executing illegal instructions on machines does not support
SSE42 if the compiler emits code that is not guarded by our runtime
detection. and we need to do the change in both Makefile and CMakefile.

or, we can use GCC's "target" attribute to enable the machine specific
instructions on certain function. in this way, we have finer grained
control of the used "target". and no need to change the makefiles. so
we don't need to duplicate the changes on both makefile and cmake as
the previous approach.

this problem surfaces when preparing a package for GNU/Linux distribution,
and we only applies to optimization for SSE42, so using a feature
only available on GCC/Clang is not that formidable.
