Release (version) numbering non-obvious

[JohnVeness]

Hello. Thanks for all who contribute to VSCodium!

I have a bit of an issue with the new release (i.e. version) numbering system. I find it hard to immediately realise that, for example, 1.100.12345 is equivalent to VSCode 1.100.1, and that 1.100.23456, say, is equivalent to VSCode 1.100.2. I mean, I can see the logic if pressed, but it isn't immediately obvious.

I preferred the old four part version numbering, with numbers like 1.100.1.12345 and 1.100.2.23456, where it's more clear what the equivalent releases are. I understand this was changed in #2299 and I can see the reasoning there, but just visually, I find the new system slightly confusing.

Any thoughts to maybe improve this? Maybe the fourth component doesn't need to be particularly long - maybe you could have version numbers like 1.100.2.1 and 1.100.2.2 etc.
