Interesting. I had explicitly output this line differently on ARM64 so
that the output is in the standard form of a Windows version number,
which is what the Host Build value actually is. My intent is to fix the
x86 side as well. I had not anticipated there being automated parsing
of these strings.

I had also put the colon in the place to be consistent with most
other Hyper-V messages. I know: picky, picky. :-)

What's the impact of changing the tools that parse it so that
either version could be handled?
