Title:
Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning
without any warning

Bug description:
In Calamares, when doing Manual Partitioning, there is no option to
choose whether or not to create a swapfile as there is with the Erase
Disk option. Instead, one would need to create it outside of the
installer. However, a swapfile is created nonetheless. This is neither
indicated in the Partitions panel, nor in the Summary panel, as one
would expect.
This appears to be caused by the `initialSwapChoice` value in
/etc/calamares/modules/partition.conf which is set to `file`. Changing
it to `none` eliminates the issue.
So there are two things that need to be fixed here:
1. Calamares itself needs a change, including one or more of:
1. Provide an option in Manual Partitioning to choose swapfile options
2. Show the creation of swapfiles in the Summary panel
3. Don't consider the value of `initialSwapChoice` when doing Manual Partitioning
2. calamares-settings-ubuntu should change the value of `initialSwapChoice` to `none`, at least while these bugs in Calamares exist
