utils.py: Make magic_timestamp a public variable

Shashwat Dalalrequested to merge
shashwatdalal/make-magic-timestamp-public into master

Description

Some plugin elements, such as docker-element and tar-element, require to set created and/or modified meta-data fields. It would be nice to use magic_timestamp to ensure these fields are being set in a consistent and deterministic way
