Title: Expose the release timestamp as a variable.

Previously the only way to get this value was to extract it from the end of :release_path.

This is something I find useful to be able to use in my deploy tasks. We tag the git SHA with each deploy for instance.

This was the best approach I could figure out and seems pretty innocuous, but if anyone has a better suggestion I'm all ears.
