Follow ups for user defined tools #20206

Description

@mvdbeek

#19434 has been merged (🎉). At this point it is still a little rough along the edges and there's plenty of work to do to make this really awesome and user/admin friendly.

  • A new Tool.tool_type (probably user_defined?) so that user defined tools can be addressed in job config and be routed to dedicated resources
  • more tests
  • more documentation
    • Publish UserToolSource schema for reference in tool developer documentation
    • Unify XML and YAML tool developer docs
  • Write migration guide
  • Write FAQ
  • Live preview of tools
  • Outline javascript libraries for common operations
  • Templates for different types of tools
  • Tool shed support
  • Missing features
    • configfiles are not supported
    • Access to reference data is not supported
    • Access to metadata and metadata files (such as BAM indexes) is not supported
    • Access to the extra_files directory is not supported
