Bulk update modules to use versions.yml (#739)

* New functions.nf

* Convert code to create versions.yml

* Update meta.yml

* update output channel

* Fix more meta.yml

* Manually update remaining modules

* remove superflous echo

* Fix misformatted meta.yml files

* Fix yaml, was list instead of dict

* fix version for bcftools
