Description
Right now the official docs say in chroot.md for swap in the fstab:
UUID=1cb4[...] swap swap rw,noatime,discard 0 0
fde.md says:
/dev/voidvm/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
The void-installer does:
echo "UUID=$uuid none swap sw 0 0" >>$TARGET_FSTAB
Archwiki says:
UUID=device_UUID none swap defaults 0 0
fstab(5) says:
- for swap, use
nonefor second field
If the discard option is used, then probably the docs + installer should also say/do swapon -d.

Research direction
Compare the swap examples in chroot.md and fde.md with the swap entry emitted by void-installer, then check the fstab(5) guidance cited in the issue. Unify the documented and installer-generated syntax and clarify how discard should be handled, with matching results in both documentation and installer behavior.
