LSF executor does not respect LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS in lsf.conf

[d-callan]

Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

Jobs submit on an LSF cluster should respect the value for LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS in lsf.conf, per #1124 .. However, running on a cluster where this unit is set to MB, for a task asking for 80 MB, sees a header in .command.run files like the following:

#BSUB -M 81920
#BSUB -R "select[mem>=81920] rusage[mem=80]"

Steps to reproduce the problem

On an LSF cluster with a non-default setting for LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS, i attempted to run an nf-core pipeline..

nextflow run nf-core/metatdenovo -profile singularity,test -outdir out

Program output

The cluster fails to start jobs, saying ive requested more resources than the queue allows.
