A production redeploy of echoserver hung at the swap-forge task and the
host stopped answering SSH. swap-forge v1.0.1 recreates the swapfile
whenever its size differs from the requested MiB by any amount, starting
with swapoff on the live file. The request is the host's MemTotal, which
drifts by a few MiB across kernels, so a routine deploy paged the whole
swap back in, charged it to the containers' memory cgroups and starved
sshd until the OOM killer took swapoff.

Read the active swap files with swapon before swap-forge runs and skip
it when an active file is within 5 % of the requested size, reporting
the kept size against the request. The sizing formula is unchanged, so
no host is forced into a one-time recreate; a deliberate resize beyond
the tolerance still reaches swap-forge.

The unit test resolves the real vars through Ansible's Templar for MiB
drift both ways, no swap, zram and partitions, a halved size, an exact
pin, a lowercase unit and an escaped file name, and shows that the exact
MiB comparison swap-forge uses misses the drift.
