Consider adapting long formats for output files #159

Some of the output tables of the pipeline contain fixed and flexible column names. Examples files from the test data would be (folder [tests/output]):

One location in the code where this format is created would be here: https://github.com/BIMSBbioinfo/pigx_sars-cov-2/blob/485f7df73caa7b4eb74b1f7ab63091f0a888249c/scripts/deconvolution.R#L490-L497

I would suggest converting these kinds of tables to long format, such that the table headers are static. Should a wider format be required for plotting, reporting, etc. I would suggest doing the temporary transformation directly there.
