provide possibility to increase tmp disk space for toil jobs about comparative-annotation-toolkit HOT 4 CLOSED

Oops, that is something I didn't consider because on the cluster I designed this on (parasol) it doesn't control job disk usage. I will add the --defaultDisk flag, default it to 8G, and check for places where a job may request more.

Thanks, it seems to be working fine now (I see much fewer error messages);

On a related note, is there a reason being the current way defaultMemory is specified? I tried to modify the default value using --defaultMemory=12G, which returned an error. Diving into the code, I found the explanation (an integer is expected). Would it make a difference to replace
defaultMemory = luigi.IntParameter(default=8 * 1024 ** 3, significant=False)
by
defaultMemory = luigi.Parameter(default='8G', significant=False)
?
Toil interprets correctly when mem or disk space are specified this way. Also it would make parametrization more homogenous. What do you think?

Good point, made this consistent with commit cb12601.
