lcdata.generate_object_id()

Generate a random unique object ID for a light curve.

We want to make this unique but readable. It is also important that if different datasets are generated with different runs of they program they have different IDs. To accomplish this, we use the format lcdata_[random session string]_[count]. The random_session_string will be consistent for all of the light curves generated in the same session. The count will start from zero and increase.
