Description of the bug

Hey!

When running this pipeline from AWS using the sratoolkit method, I was hitting the following error at the SRATOOLS_PREFETCH step:

Cannot parse AWS identity PKCS7 part, err=0 ( 500 )

While debugging I came across this issue: ncbi/sra-tools#829 and the release notes for sratools which suggested that updating the version of sra tools would fix the problem. Updating the docker image:

   withName: 'CUSTOM_SRATOOLSNCBISETTINGS|SRATOOLS_PREFETCH {
        container = 'biocontainers/sra-tools:3.2.1--h4304569_1'
    }

plus doing a wave build for SRATOOLS_FASTERQDUMP (which also needs pigz) along with wave builds for arm support ended up solving the issue for me.

It looks like the nf-core modules have already been updated, so I believe pulling in those updates + updating the image for the custom module would fix this.
