Switched to separate-tag encoding of forward-looking CRCs

Previously forward-looking CRCs was just two new CRC types, one for
commits with forward-looking CRCs, one without. These both contained the
CRC needed to complete the current commit (note that the commit CRC
must come last!).

         [--   32   --|--   32   --|--   32   --|--   32   --]
with:    [  crc3 tag  | nprog size |  nprog crc | commit crc ]
without: [  crc2 tag  | commit crc ]

This meant there had to be several checks for the two possible structure
sizes, messying up the implementation.

         [--   32   --|--   32   --|--   32   --|--   32   --|--   32   --]
with:    [nprogcrc tag| nprog size |  nprog crc | commit tag | commit crc ]
without: [ commit tag | commit crc ]

But we already have a mechanism for storing optional metadata! The
different metadata tags! So why not use a separate tage for the
forward-looking CRC, separate from the commit CRC?

I wasn't sure this would actually help that much, there are still
necessary conditions for wether or not a forward-looking CRC is there,
but in the end it simplified the code quite nicely, and resulted in a ~200 byte
code-cost saving.
