hq unexpected argument '--log' found

Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

Expected: Nextflow pipeline should work with hq v0.20
Actual: Pipeline fails due to parameter incompatibility - hq v0.20 uses '--stream' parameter while Nextflow generates '--log' parameter

Steps to reproduce the problem

Running Nextflow pipeline with hq v0.20 integration results in error due to parameter mismatch.
Error message: "error: unexpected argument '--log' found"

Program output

error: unexpected argument '--log' found

Environment

• Nextflow version: 24.10.2
• Java version: openjdk 11.0.13 2021-10-19 (OpenJDK Runtime Environment JBR-11.0.13.7-1751.21-jcef)
• Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
• Bash version: GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
• Additional tool version: hq v0.20

Additional context

This appears to be a compatibility issue between Nextflow and recent versions of hq. The hq tool has updated its parameter syntax from '--log' to '--stream'. The pipeline generator in Nextflow needs to be updated to use the new parameter syntax.

Proposed solution: Update Nextflow's hq integration to generate '--stream' instead of '--log' when working with hq v0.20 and above.

Apparently HyperQueue team don't care about backward compatibility of their tool https://github.com/It4innovations/hyperqueue/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#removed.

Not sure how much it can be done at nextflow level.
