sum: more readable

* Declare one buffer size constant used by all algorithms
* Standard sum command has no -h option for help; treating it as an unknown option still prints usage string
* In sum2() remove unused variable $i
* In sum1() and crc32() replace ord+substr pattern with unpacking $buf before loop
* My test file produces same sum for -o {0,1,2} as previous version
