Hourly aggregation TimePeriod format is broken in so many ways

[huss01]

1. Date format is inconsistent with all other aggregation types which use YYYY-MM-DD
2. Documented format is incorrect, the actual format is "m/d/y 12:00:00 AM|h"
3. According to the description,"12:00:00" can be ignored. Why is it included?
4. If a click was received between 23:00 and 23:59 on March 14, 2018 the documentation states that the TimePeriod for that would be "3/15/2018 12:00:00 AM|0". But then the date in the TimePeriod is not the date of the click. Is this really correct?

@huss01 thanks for the feedback. We have updated the documentation to clarify 2) and correct 4). I agree the format issues you mentioned per 1) and 3) should be fixed in a future API version e.g., YYYY-MM-DD|h. Our team is tracking this request. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions or concerns.
