#' @title Add Unique Identifiers to PurpleAir Synoptic Data
#' 
#' @description Generates and adds a unique identification vector to PurpleAir
#' sensors using the \code{MazamaLocationUtils} package, which creates a unique 
#' ID based upon coordinate location and device id. 
#' 
#' Adds the following vectors: 
#' \itemize{
#'   \item{deviceID --PurpleAir ID}
#'   \item{locationID -- MazamaLocationUtils generated location ID }
#'   \item{deviceDeploymentID -- A combination of device and location IDs}
#' }
#' 
#' @note This function is only needed to add these IDs to archival \emph{pas}
#' generated with very early verions of the \pkg{AirSensor} package.
#'
#' @param pas a pa_synoptic dataframe
#'
#' @return A dataframe with generated unique ID columns added.
