Usually, you don't want to change something that comes before with something that comes later (that is, elements that are to the left (in LTR, but right in RTL) and above), but I guess in this case, it makes sense. Also, unrelated: This screenshot shows there's a lot of space between the reformat and trash/remove icon... I guess we should fix the layout and how it expands (in another PR). |

We don't need to reformat swap partition to be able to reuse it and when swap is shared between multiple systems reformatting it would change its UUID potentially breaking the other system(s) we are dualbooting with.
Swap devices are not really mountable, but we need to somehow indicate that the device will be used in the installed system and written into /etc/fstab. For that we currenly use "swap" mount point both in TUI mount point assignment and in Custom Spoke. For WebUI we'll prefill the mount point for all selected devices formatted to "swap".

The idea is that when user selects a device formatted as swap we'll automatically set mount point to swap and disable the input field. Also swap devices can now be reused without reformatting (there's no reason to force reformatting and there are situation where it could cause issues).
(On the screenshot, both vda2 and vda3 are preformatted as swap.)
