[W4Mconcat] First version of a new tool to concatenate W4M metadata tables

[hanourine]

Hello, I am currently in intership at PFEM-MetaboHub and I have developed a tool to merge Metadata tables according to W4M 3-tables format. I have tested my tool on planemo with the latest Galaxy VM and all works fine. I am looking forward to your review, in particular regarding Galaxy best practices for galaxy wrapper.
Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,
Thank you @lecorguille for the review. I tried to answer all the points along with minor cosmetics enhancement.
Is the current version ok?

@hanourine thanks a lot!

Can you maybe look at this tool: https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/table_compute/table_compute/1.2.4+galaxy0

I know its a bit complex, but I assume it can handle your use case and many more. Maybe that is useful?

Thank you for your comment.
Our module handles a set of 4 files, whereas the Table Compute module would require us to use the module 3 times, increasing the risk of error. In addition, the table_compute options don't behave as expected and can't be configured as in W4Mconcat. For example:
The error is green but false in the case of input the wrong files that are not supposed to match rather than an error to the user, and on the other hand the case of use with different individuals.
In the case of common columns between the two tables, Table compute aggregates the columns instead of being able to choose between discerning one of the two columns or keeping both.
Thus, the use of Table compute requires a great deal of manipulation to obtain results where the purpose of W4Mconcat is precisely to allow a simple way and limiting false manipulation in order to obtain a consistent set of data.
