Update or replace Node-CRC

[rafaelmaeuer]

Some thoughts about updating node-crc to v2 like in swrlab/ard-eventhub#284

• the update would require every project using this dependency to install rustup toolchain which is fine for local development but questionable regarding deployments and docker-files...

The idea came up to replace the library as its only usage is node-utils/utils/ard/createHashedId.js
A not too oudated library is https://github.com/akiver/crc64-ecma, but its not generating the same result:

Result with node-crc: INPUT:SWR --> OUTPUT (CRC64-ECMA182): baa7e9a52223a090

const crc = require('node-crc')
module.exports = (input) => { return crc.crc64(Buffer.from(input, 'utf-8')).toString('hex') }

Result with crc64-ecma: INPUT:SWR --> OUTPUT (CRC64-ECMA182): 7fdca8944f20b7a0

const { crc64 } = require('crc64-ecma')
module.exports = (input) => { return crc64(input).toString(16) }

Maybe magiclen/node-crc#9 could be the needed solution?
