danbst 8d8a7210e4 zramSwap: allow configure compression algorithm + cleanups
- add `zramSwap.algorithm` option, which allows to change compressor
declaratively. zstd as default
- add `zramSwap.swapDevices` option, which allows to define how many zram
devices will be used as swap. Rest devices can be managed freely
- simpler floating calculations
- fix udev race condition
- some documentation changes
- replaced `/sys/block/zram*` handling with `zramctl`, because I had occasional
"Device is busy" error (looks like zram has to be configured in predefined order)
- added `memoryPercent` and `algorithm` as restart triggers. I think, it was
a bug that changing `memoryPercent` in configuration wasn't applied immediately.
- removed a bind to .swap device. While it looks natural (when swap device goes
off, so should zram device), it wasn't implemented properly. This caused problems
with swapon/swapoff:
```
$ cat /proc/swaps

$ sudo swapoff -a

$ sudo swapon -a
swapon: /dev/zram0: read swap header failed
