Improve subway-map of variant-callers #834

Description of feature

As mentioned here,

https://github.com/nf-core/sarek/pull/831#issuecomment-1313457016

the subway-map of the variant-callers seem to indicate that the variant-callers are being called sequentially while, in fact, they are called in parallel. Try to make a subway-map which indicate that the variant-callers are being called in parallel.

Difficult to do and keeping it simple enough and in a nice format to be used in posters/talks etc.

If we turn it by 90degrees I am afraid it would get way to cluttered. We have various more detailed subway maps around created for talks and such that highlight the degree of parallelization on all levels more.

We could a) clean those up and have them as separate subway maps or b) think a bit harder if there is a nice way to collate it all in one.

I wouldn't want to give up readability though. The subways maps already are a highly simplified version of what is going on under the hood to give users a nice overview and not bore them with intricate details of channel mappings etc.
