[Python-Dev] Converting crc32 functions to use unsigned

It seems that we should convert the crc32 functions in binascii,
zlib, etc. to deal with unsigned integers. Currently it seems that 32-
bit and 64-bit platforms are going to have different results for
these functions.
Should we do the same as the struct module, and do DeprecationWarning
when the input value is < 0? Do we have a PyArg_ParseTuple format
code or a converter that would be suitable for this purpose?
None of the unit tests seem to exercise values where 32-bit and 64-
bit platforms would have differing results, but that's easy enough to
fix...
