Injects released_at date of latest bbctl release as build constant for homebrew buildDate ldflag

General MR

Summary

constants.buildDate is intended to be used to mark the window before bbctl should start warning users that they are perilously out of date. Our homebrew formula previously injected the actual current datetime at the time of homebrew which could mean an incorrect date is used for the warning logic.

This MR instead hardcodes in a buildDate into the generated homebrew formula using the released_at date from the relevant bbctl release as reported by the gitlab API.
