Thanks for turning my shitty half-formed idea into a patch :)

I wrote this on top to bikeshed this a bit further, wonder what you
think:
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/compare/pr-169/jeffhostetler/core-tr2-startup-and-sysenv-v2...avar:pr-169/jeffhostetler/core-tr2-startup-and-sysenv-v2

So e.g.:

    Before: 20190329-220413-446441-c2f5b994-018702
    After:  20190329T220431.244562Z-Hc2f5b994-P19812F

I.e:

 * Using <date>T<time> as is ISO 8601 convention/easier to read

 * <dateime>.<microseconds>Z, so seperating with "." to indicate it's
   the same value + add "Z" for "it's UTC". I'm least sure about the
   ".". Is that going to cause issues on Windows these days (the rest
   being the "extension"...).

 * I changed the hostname discovery so if gethostbyname() fails we'll
   print "-H00000000-" for that part, instead of "-H<first 8 chars of
   the sha1 for 'localhost'>-". Also prefix with "H" for "Host".

 * Wrap pids to 0xffff, prefix with "P" (Pid)" and trail with either "F"
   = Full or "W" = Wrapped (not the real PID).

 * I didn't add "T<datetime>" like "H" and "P" for the rest, since it's
   obvious what sort of value it is.

Maybe this is going a bit overboard, but I think it's easier to read at
a glance for humans, and since it's meant to be opaque to machines
anyway and the length is simliar enough not to matter I figure it's
worth it.
