multiqc_data group

[thomasmanke]

The multiqc_data group is not properly chnaged. This seems to have started with snakePipe3.1.0/multiqc1.25

I have tested that with multiqc 1.25.1 the files in multiqc_data/ really get different group ownership:
The following files do not inherit the group defined at the periphery (-s)

• multiqc_citations.txt
• multiqc_data.json
• multiqc_sources.txt
  Notably these are all files that are created by multiqc directly at the target location.
  All other files in multiqc_data/ are first created in some /tmp directory and then copied.

Suggestion: enforce compression of multiqc_data with 'multiqc --zip-data-dir'
Minor savings in storage, but this should fix most of the recent grp warnings.

Question: is the uncompressed multiqc_data used by anyone/any tool?

Of course the suggested solution is on snakePipe side, rather than BRB. So opened issue there too.
