extensionFromVscodeMarketplace: Fails on weird gzipped-zip VSIX

[sliedes]

Describe the bug

There is at least one extension in the Vscode Marketplace that pkgs.vscode-utils.extensionFromVscodeMarketplace fails to build:

      (pkgs.vscode-utils.extensionFromVscodeMarketplace {
        name = "overtype";
        publisher = "drmerfy";
        version = "0.5.0";
        hash = "sha256-aiaQu818XZDtWCxFof/h9l1UqxEKgiM+FYPuVDr9bgY=";
      })

error: builder for '/nix/store/1m9jhwcfk6690nbhiizdmacjhiy1w8il-vscode-extension-drmerfy-overtype-0.5.0.drv' failed with exit code 1;
       last 10 log lines:

Inspecting the file in the store, it seems to be a gzipped zip, i.e. I assume doing an extra gunzip on it would fix this.

I don't know how worth fixing this is, or how common such extensions are. It seems to work when installing directly in vscode, and to cause all kinds of weird issues all over the Nix solutions for installing extensions (e.g. nix-community/nix-vscode-extensions#78).

Steps To Reproduce

Try to build the package as shown in the code above.

Expected behavior

The result is a built extension in the nix store.

Notify maintainers

vscode maintainers (since I had trouble finding more specific names for vscode-utils); I assume you at least know who should be pinged: @eadwu @Synthetica @bobby285271 @JohnRTitor
