EasyBuildMeta easyblock doesn't take possible zipped .egg's into account in sanity check

[boegel]

This is reflected in the EasyBuild bootstrap script failing like:

A (temporary) fix for the bootstrap script is available in easybuilders/easybuild-framework#1422

[boegel]

Less urgent now, since vsc-base is not really zip-safe anyway (cfr. hpcugent/vsc-base#210), and the EasyBuild framework itself isn't yet (cfr. easybuilders/easybuild-framework#1399).
