[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 0/2] Document Advanced ZFS installation options

With the recent changes to the installer, we do not create a swap zvol during
installation anymore [0].

This patchsets notes this in the pve-installation.adoc, and along with it,
shortly documents the Advanced Options for ZFS.

Additionally it expands the section on swap on ZFS a bit, discouraging the use
of a zvol as swapdevice.

I did refrain from:
* linking to the gitlab-issue which originally brought up the point of not
  adding swap on a zvol - since the link seemed to fragile [1].
* adding a description/command, of how to add a zvol used for swap (would not
  make sense, 2 lines after we explicitly discourage the use) [2].

I'll keep in mind and check the 5.3 release-notes for a mention of the changes!.
