FastQC uses only 10 cores in a 32 core server

[SuhasSrinivasan]

Description of feature

Despite specifying 32 cores through Slurm and Nextflow config, FastQC uses only 10 threads/cores, that is 1 thread per FASTQ file, even though there are more than 10 FASTQ files and 10 cores that can be utilized in parallel.

This behavior has been noticed with other tasks as well.

It will be very helpful if FastQC and other tools can use M threads = M FASTQ or intermediate files, where, M < N cores.
