[tex-live] Ask tlmgr what the latest revision installed is

Hi Xu,

Before updating you can use
   tlgmr update --list
and extract this information, maybe with --machinereadable added, but after updating tlmgr itself had no idea about what has been updated.

But you can check TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/tlmgr.log and extract the information from there.
