Replaces intelliCards with intelliCores.

Sprites replaced with a black box that could conceivably contain a brain, while obscuring the details. Complete with screen and convenient handle.
Usage text modified to make sense for MMIs/posibrains, instead of just drone brains (e.g. downloaded → transferred).
Description added to the new intelliCores. Made into normal-sized item, similar to MMIs/posibrains.

This is an alternative to either changing lore to allow for brain uploading, or changing code to allow for choosing multiple AI brain types.
