 * Made this package PEP 561 compliant (#49).
 * Release GIL during the computation of the CRC32C hash. A new `gil_release_mode` argument lets users choose between always/never/automatically releasing it (#47).
 * Add keyword support to `crc32c` function (`crc32c(data, value=0, gil_release_mode=-1)`).
