Additional info
This relates to #4753:
It seems to me that pbbam was archived and the individual tools were transferred to pbtk. Tackle the proper update on a separate branch with a separate PR.
After this new module is created, pbbam/pbmerge needs to be removed.
pbmerged was used in the first version of the isoseq pipeline. After a modification of the analysis strategy, pbmerge has been removed and not used by any pipeline. I've kept maintained it along with the other Pacbio modules to keep available in the hypothesis where would like to use it. Unless someone planned to use it in a new pipeline, I don't think it's necessary to keep a module for pbmerge.
Note that pbmerge should be deprecated following the guidelines in: https://nf-co.re/docs/contributing/modules#deprecating-a-module
