Description
The contents of register rA is subtracted from the contents of register rB and the result is placed into 
register rD. 
The MSB bit of rD is adjusted to shown true relation between rA and rB. If the U bit is set, rA and rB is 
considered unsigned values. If the U bit is clear, rA and rB is considered signed values.
Pseudocode
(rD) ← (rB) + (rA) + 1
(rD)(MSB) ← (rA) > (rB)
