This PR attempts to fix the greedy behaviour from the metadata handler.
The greedy behaviour causes this type of issues (eth-cscs/production#2106).
Currently, the metadata file parser populates the
PACKAGE_PREFIXandPACKAGE_VERSIONvariables at the moment it reads the file. This might be ok for non Cray systems, due to the fact that the modules are may still be present and have the same values. For Cray systems, the value of the fields change with the change in the programming environment. In this case, one needs to let EB populate the values at the very end.
