Description
Hi!
How to reproduce:
1. Do `pyoxidizer init-config-file pyapp` from tutorial
2. Add `exe.add_python_resources(exe.pip_install(["more-itertools"]))` to `make_exe` target
3. `pyoxidizer run`
4. `from importlib.metadata import version; version('more-itertools')`
5. Same for `from importlib.metadata import version; version('more_itertools')`
```
$ pyoxidizer --version
PyOxidizer 0.17.0

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the PyOxidizer tutorial configuration, `make_exe`, `pip_install`, and `importlib.metadata.version` as shown. Start by tracing how the embedded `more-itertools` distribution metadata is packaged and exposed; done means both `version('more-itertools')` and `version('more_itertools')` work in `pyoxidizer run`.
