doc: Clarify the Swap Space examples, and include an helper example.

Browse source 
* doc/guix.texi (Swap Space): The examples referred to variables
defined outside of the snippets, and so were not very informative for
people without much Guile knowledge.  Instead, refer to mapped-devices
for the first, and use the new helper
file-systme-mount-point-predicate for the second.
