Description of the change

This fixes a small but very important bug (at least for Ubuntu): since Zesty uses swapfiles by default, because of this bug if you choose "encrypt home folder" during installation (which forces also swap encryption), after installation the system hangs a lot on every boot because it cannot activate swap.
Ecryptfs-setup-swap did not handle swapfiles correctly, and put a UUID in crypyttab as if the swapfile were a partition (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1670336)
Moreover, it called the wrong script to start the encrypted swap.
