Make fastq header stripping optional

[mbhall88]

Big upvote for this.

I am currently doing some internal benchmarking of some decontamination processes, but I can't use Hostile as I have no way of assessing the kept reads as I don't know what reads from the original fastq are kept. Assumeably there must be a way of doing this as you assess the accuracy of Hostile in your preprint?

Hey Michael, thanks for nudging – I'll make this optional after I've finished lunch and update this issue

Great! Thanks and do reach out on here or email if there's anything else. I'll probably make another release next week
