Description of the bug

Due to the addition of a check on pipeline name added to PipelineCreate.create_param_dict attempting to lint a pipeline but skip linting the name no longer works as reported by @matthdsm on Slack.

Potential solutions:

• remove check from method
• leverage .nf-core.yml to selectively ignore this check.

If we go option 2 then I would propose making tools always attempt to load the .nf-core.yml (we are already possibly expanding where it is needed due to path changes) and store the config in some globally available object that can be easily referred to across the tools code.

Command used and terminal output

nf-core lint

    nf-core/tools version 2.7.dev0 - https://nf-co.re
