Description

Was thinking on adding support for handling xz-compressed files, as we do right now with gzip, to nf-test.
Had this idea while looking at nf-core/modules#526, and started coding something up over here but lost track of it over the new year.
IIRC it compiles, but is lacking automated tests.
@sateeshperi @LokiLuciferase do you it makes sense to support this?
