Updates to 2004/hoyle
The alt code was removed. This is because it serves no purpose or functional difference. The only difference is that it's missing a newline at the end and it has non-standard tab stop. The README.md file has been format/typo checked.

## Alternate code:
|
||||
|
||||
An alternate version of this entry, [hoyle.alt.c](hoyle.alt.c), is provided.
|
||||
This alternate code has a missing newline and used a non-standard tab stop size.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile this alternate version:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
make alt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `hoyle.alt.c` as you would `hoyle` above.
