Add og:description attribute to individual "Release" page

Nathan Friend requested to merge nfriend-add-release-og-description into master

What does this MR do?

Adds og:description meta tags to the individual Release page.

This allows social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and other communications platforms (Slack, Mattermost) to display a snippet of the release's description instead of the generic project description when a link to the release is shared.

This resolves #215389 (closed).

Screenshots

The screenshots below compare releases from the current GitLab project (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/releases/v9.1.0-ee) to releases in this MR's review app. Because of this, the URL is different - this can be ignored.
