Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
I'm proposing a prettier naming scheme for the various Xcode versions. I think it should still be unambiguous; it would just be a little easier to read at a glance.

Not related to a problem
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
Currently, Xcode names are like this:
Xcode-14.1.0-Beta.3
Xcode-14.1.0-Release.Candidate
Xcode-14.1.0
I propose that they look like this instead:
Xcode 14.1.0 (Beta 3)
Xcode 14.1.0 (Release Candidate)
Xcode 14.1.0
This format should still be unambiguous; it just replaces all of the dashes with spaces and puts parentheses around the last section. But I find it much more pleasant to look at and easier to read.
Contributor guide

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Locate the code responsible for displaying Xcode version names, then verify that beta, release-candidate, and stable examples use the proposed spacing and parentheses without losing unambiguous version information.
