Actually, after chewing on that second point awhile longer,
how about this modest proposal:

* Drop all code for run-time determination of ARM CRC support.
Assume it's there unless user builds with a -march option that
says it definitely isn't.

Realistically, exactly who is going to be running Postgres 18+
on ARM hardware that lacks CRC support?  I can think of lots of
projects that are more worthy of our time than this.

(Perhaps it's time to apply the same mindset to x86 CRC support
too?)
