Allow for "global logging" to be possible from Cypress events

Current behavior:

Cyrrently, attempting to make a cy.log call either onBeforeLoad or on fail is not working. I need to output some metadata to test runner on each run so i can reconcile the test run with our Sentry integration in case there is a backend or JS error which is not being captured in the test runner.

These codes do not work

Cypress.on('window:before:load', win => {
  win.SentryReleaseVersion = (new Date()).toISOString() + randomString(5);
  console.log('Release Version', win.SentryReleaseVersion)
  cy.log('Release Version', win.SentryReleaseVersion);
});

Cypress.on('fail', () => {
  cy.window().then(win => {
    console.log('Release Version', win.SentryReleaseVersion)
    cy.log('Release Version', win.SentryReleaseVersion);
    Cypress.log({
      name: 'Test',
      message: win.SentryReleaseVersion
    })
  })
})

Desired behavior:

I would like a clear path to accomplish the above use case without writing a beforeEach for every suite in the app.
