bug#52181: [core-update-frozen] many rust package can't build because them source file-name use ".crate" suffix.

[Z572]

hello,

many rust package can't build in core-update-frozen because them
source file-name use ".crate" suffix.

core-update-frozen change unpack phase:
see guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm unpack phase:

#+END_SRC

and guix/build/utils.scm:

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(define (tarball? file-name)
  "True when FILE-NAME has a tar file extension."
  (string-match "\\.(tar(\\..*)?|tgz|tbz)$" file-name))
#+END_SRC

".crate" no match it.

so

#+BEGIN_SRC bash
$ ls /tmp/guix-build-rust-pkg-config-0.3.19.drv-0/
environment-variables  rust-pkg-config-0.3.19.crate
#+END_SRC

I think have 2 option:

 1. change suffix from ".crate" to ".tar.gz".
 2. maybe let "tarball?" check file like command-line program "file", no
 just check filename suffix.
