Unexpected mashtree parameters for bootstrap replicates #71

Describe the bug
It looks like some mashtree parameters such as --kmerlength and --sketch-size are not propagated to mash sketch when running the bootstrap replicates.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I suspected there was an issue when I got an error when running mashtree_bootstrap.pl. The error itself was my fault and resolved, but I noticed messages like this in the error log:

mashtree: mashSketch(TID1): ERROR running mash sketch -S 1453011824 -k 21 -s 10000  -o /var/tmp/MASHTREE_BOOTSTRAP.vlWjIT/3/files.fa files.fa 2>&1!

This message was unexpected because I had specified --kmerlength 22 --sketch-size 1000000. I confirmed from the log that these parameters looked fine for the initial mashtree run:

mashtree --outmatrix /var/tmp/MASHTREE_BOOTSTRAP.9F2rzJ/observeddistances.tsv.tmp --tempdir /var/tmp/MASHTREE_BOOTSTRAP.9F2rzJ/observed --numcpus 48 --genomesize 100000 --kmerlength 22 --mindepth 1 --sketch-size 1000000 <my input fasta files > /var/tmp/MASHTREE_BOOTSTRAP.9F2rzJ/observed.dnd.tmp

Expected behavior
I would expect the mashtree runs with the different seeds for bootstrapping would use the same parameters

Additional context
I may be misunderstanding the code or log files, but I think the issue could be due to this snippet of code:
https://github.com/lskatz/mashtree/blob/master/bin/mashtree_bootstrap.pl#L160-L172
The parameter $mashtreeOptions doesn't appear to be used?

Thank you very much for making this great software!
