[Bug]: tfrecordio does not work with snappy >= 0.7

[cnsgsz]

What happened?

import snappy succeeds but both getattr in tfrecordio.py return None. snappy < 0.7 does not have the issue.

Marking it as P1 as it silently but dramatically slows down reading & writing. It would also be nice to add a test for this or make the error less silent.

Beam indeed reports this as a warning message if snappy cannot be used here. I think the right fix is to get rid of snappy and switch to other crc32c packages. Created #34226 to track this as a new feature.
