Pipeline fails if number of splits is greater than number of input contigs

[chasemc]

e.g. Input parameter is set to --num_splits 12 but only 8 contigs are in the input

Tip: when you have fixed the problem you can continue the execution adding the option `-resume` to the run command line

Splitting was deprecated for simplicity. This may be put back into the workflow for a later release, but for now this is no longer a problem.

This dramatically increases the speed of the pre-binning steps of Autometa 2 (mostly by parallelizing prodigal) and the bug shouldn't be a difficult fix. Re-opening as an "enhancement"
