Bug Description

Currently the internal ID is a serial number that is given to each bug at the start of the program.

The ID should be permanent, and be a random integer converted to a string. The length should be configurable.

This ID could be stored in the bug, for backup purposes, and also be used in the command line interface.

   The implementation would be simplified with a permanent bug ID.
