Snippets cannot be used when the source archive is not supported by tar.

For example, when building HISAT with snippets (instead of patching in a
build phase), guix determines the decompression type to be "xz" and then
fails as follows:

That's due to the definiton of `decompression-type' in
`patch-and-repack' in the file guix/packages.scm:

~~~~~~
(define decompression-type
    (cond ((string-suffix? "gz" source-file-name)  "gzip")
          ((string-suffix? "bz2" source-file-name) "bzip2")
          ((string-suffix? "lz" source-file-name)  "lzip")
          (else "xz")))
~~~~~~
