[U-Boot] [PATCH] lib:crc32: Allow setting of the initial crc32 value

The current approach set the initial value of crc32 calculation to zero,
which is correct for calculating checksum of the whole chunk of data.

It however, lacks the flexibility, when one wants to calculate CRC32 of
a file comprised of many smaller parts received separately.

In the proposed approach the output value is used as a starting condition
for the proper crc32 calculation at crc32_wd function. This behavior is
identical to the one provided by crc32() method implementation.

Additionally, comments were appropriately updated.
