 * \brief Byte-stream CRC block for async messages
 * \ingroup packet_operators_blk
 *
 * \details
 *
 * Processes packets (as async PDU messages) for CRC32. The \p
 * check parameter determines if the block acts to check and strip
 * the CRC or to calculate and append the CRC32.
 *
 * The input PDU is expected to be a message of packet bytes.
 *
 * When using check mode, if the CRC passes, the output is a
 * payload of the message with the CRC stripped, so the output
 * will be 4 bytes smaller than the input.
 *
 * When using calculate mode (check == false), then the CRC is
 * calculated on the PDU and appended to it. The output is then 4
 * bytes longer than the input.
 *
 * This block implements the CRC32 using the Boost crc_optimal
 * class for 32-bit CRCs with the standard generator 0x04C11DB7.
