Add -m to seqtk command when low on RAM #63

Description

@danejo3

We had a case where we were trying to downsample 11 billion reads with 1 TB of RAM and seqtk said it needed more RAM.

Below, a suggestion was made to resolve the issue; however, it will run slower.

Usage:   seqtk sample [-2] [-s seed=11] <in.fa> <frac>|<number>

Options: -s INT       RNG seed [11]
         -2           2-pass mode: twice as slow but with much reduced memory
