The version id that particleos currently uses is difficult to read, especially at a glance.

As seen above, the numbers jumble together, resulting in it being difficult to tell which one is first, second... etc.
There are several formats to fix this, sacrificing varying amounts of length for readability. I would like to hear your thoughts on which one you think is best.
ParticleOS_YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS
ParticleOS_YYYYmmdd-HH.MM.SS
ParticleOS_YYYY.mm.dd-HH.MM.SS
ParticleOS_YYYY.mm.dd-HH:MM:SS
Note: This is something that is difficult to change after install, so having a sensible default is important.
