We ran into this when fixing the zuul02 swap partition. Essentially
parted complained that our alignments weren't optimal. After some
googling the Internet said that using multiples of 8 tends to be safe.
We shifted the offset from 1MB to 8MB to start the partition and the
warnings went away.
Add this change into make_swap.sh to automate this for future servers.

We just discovered that a number of new servers have rather small swap
sizes. It appears this snuck in via change 782898 which tries to bound
the max swap size to 8GB. Unfortunately the input to parted expects MB
so we make a swap size of 8MB instead of 8GB.
Bump the min value to 8192 to fix this.

If you're donated a really nice, big server from a friendly provider
like Vexxhost, you need to cap the amount of swap you make or you fill
up the entire root disk.

These don't make any sense in the top-level these days.
Once upon a time we used to use these as node scripts to bring up
testing nodes (I think). The important thing is they're not used now.
