Bug 441948

Description of problem:
A long standing problem with the usage of swap partitions during and after
install for multiple booting.
This issue triggers many debates on very fine and sketchy details not understood
by the average user. The subject is only seen by the user's point of view rather
than making the install operate correctly so a psychology choice can be made by
each type of install.

The use of swapon -s should be replaced with swapon /dev/<devnanepath> for the
swap created during install. The swap should always be re-created (with mkswap).
The /swap mount point should be for the primary swap in the exiting fstab (with
an option box to "Don't re-use other swaps" in fstab (in the case where the new
install is not related to the existing install.)

Now a newbie will get one swap, a dual booting hobbyist can have one swap for
all his junk, but a true multi use system can have 1 to 16 swaps, reuse the
primary (the others or notor not) during re-install. 

This puts the choice on the non best practice users while insuring the subtle
less know reasons for having separate swaps for each system (like encryption,
sensitive data, hibernation, large vs. small pages) are automagically respected.

This change would make the whole world a better place and spread peace through
out the lands. 

thank you,
