Optimised intoXX functions (#19)

* Optimised intoXX functions

Rewrote intoXX functions to mainly rely on intoHL, as the HL instructions are smaller and faster. Also removed some redundant push and pop instructions. I edited the given unit tests to test these, and they seem to work as expected.

* Doesn't use self-modifying code

The number of bytes is the same as my previous attempt, with 11 more cycles in intoHL, so although I don't feel as clever this time it's still a good optimisation. I found an equivalent method for intoDE, however relying on intoHL still allows for  `ex (sp), hl` to be used in intoIX, which is smaller and faster.

* Update core.asm

* Tried harder to follow coding convention

Added tabs between mnemonics and operands, and replaced a new line I accidentally removed.
