Convert HK1980GRID coordinates to HK80UTM coordinates

1	HK1980GRID_TO_HK80UTM(N, E)

`N`	Numeric, Northern coordinate in meters
`E`	Numeric, Eastern coordinate in meters

This function converts the HK1980GRID coordinates into HK80GEO coordinates (latitude and longitude) first, and converts the later into HK80UTM coordinates.

`N`	Northern coordinate in meters
`E`	Eastern coordinate in meters
`zone`	UTM zone number, either 49 or 50

The coordinates should be within the range of Hong Kong. Providing coordinates outside Hong Kong will lead to wrong results.
