BCD (packed) subtraction

 ;****************************************** 
;bcd_subtract 
; 
; Computes  z = x - y 
; where x,y,z are all 8-bit packed BCD numbers 
; Exits with C=1 (and DC=1 too)  if x>=y 
; and with z=1 if x==y. 
; Note that z can be aliased to x or y so that 
;it's possible to calculate x = x-y or y = x-y 
; 9 cycles (+ return)
