PR nf-core/genomeqc#63 adds existing Meryl and Merqury modules into the pre-release genomeqc workflow.

@GallVp suggested (nf-core/genomeqc#63 (comment)) extracting this into a subworkflow to enable shared development between assemblyqc and genomeqc.

• Extract meryl+merqury subworkflow into modules genomeqc#71 (once this subworkflow is developed, get back to genomeqc and use the subworkflow module rather than the processes directly in the main workflow of this pipeline
• Add meryl and merqury genomeqc#63 (closed PR bringing meryl+merqury process modules into genomeqc)

Would be great to support the trio mode with parental reads. This is supported by the assemblyqc pipeline. Maybe, we can extract a sub workflow, put it on nf-core/modules so that the two pipelines can benefit from shared development. Please see the workflow on the assemblyqc repo:
