crypto: Kconfig - simplify CRC entries
Shorten menu titles and make them consistent: - acronym - name - architecture features in parenthesis - no suffixes like "<something> algorithm", "support", or "hardware acceleration", or "optimized" Simplify help text descriptions, update references, and ensure that https references are still valid.

- See Castagnoli93. Module will be crc32c.
+ CRC32c CRC algorithm with the iSCSI polynomial (RFC 3385 and RFC 3720)
+
+ A 32-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check) with a polynomial defined

+ Redundancy-Check Codes with 24 and 32 Parity Bits", IEEE Transactions
+ on Communications, Vol. 41, No. 6, June 1993, selected for use with
