particle subscribe --device <id> fails in v1.29.0 ~ 1.33.0

[technobly]

Old way: particle subscribe mine 123412341234123412341234 --private
New way: particle subscribe --device 123412341234123412341234

Looks like it fails due to scientific notation conversion

Good one. I thought I had turned off the automatic conversion from string to number for all options but apparently that doesn't work across the board.

Fixed in 1.31.0. Try it with npm install -g https://github.com/particle-iot/particle-cli/releases/download/v1.31.0-rc.2/particle-cli-1.31.0-rc.2.tgz

It appears this problem was never fixed in 1.31.0 and exists in the latest 1.33.0 as well.

It only surfaces with ID's that contain only digits 0-9.

✏️ As a workaround, you may use the device name instead of the device id.

Sorry about that. #447 fixes this.
