Description

Description of feature

In this PR https://github.com/nf-core/tools/pull/3608/files functionality was added to specify the parent toolkit name and then bump-versins is applied to all modules under that directory (e.g. bwa to bump versions across bwa/aln bwa/mem bwa/index etc).

It would be nice to extend this to nf-core subcommands lint and test too.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the toolkit-wide version behavior from PR 3608, then locate the nf-core lint and test subcommands. Extend parent-toolkit selection to cover all modules beneath it for both commands, and verify that linting and testing run across the selected child modules.
