Output filename of a `py_wheel` target does not respect stamp info rendering

rules_python - Issue #741

The output filename of a py_wheel target does not respect stamp info rendering of the version field, even though it is used in the internal wheel files.

$ bazel build //:wheel

Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
INFO: Analyzed target //:wheel (42 packages loaded, 319 targets configured).

Target //:wheel up-to-date:
  bazel-bin/test_wheel-0.0.1_BUILD_TIMESTAMP_-py3-none-any.whl
INFO: Elapsed time: 3.387s, Critical Path: 0.14s
INFO: 7 processes: 6 internal, 1 linux-sandbox.
INFO: Build completed successfully, 7 total actions

Note the output file is named test_wheel-0.0.1_BUILD_TIMESTAMP_-py3-none-any.whl instead of rendering the stamp value of BUILD_TIMESTAMP.

However, if the .whl file is opened, it contains the expected name of e.g. test_wheel-0.0.1_1656829011.dist-info for the dist-info directory.

In addition, bazel-bin/wheel.name contains the correctly rendered name, e.g. test-wheel-0.0.1-1656829011-py3-none-any.whl, which does not match the output file.
