Chef cookbook to create a swap file of the recommended size considering the system memory.

This can be considered a general purpose cookbook but certainly not recommended for all cases.

Swap size is chosen based on the following documentation:

<table>
<tr>
<th>RAM Size</th>
<th>Recommended Swap</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>≤ 2 GB</td>
<td>2 × RAM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2 GB - 8 GB</td>
<td>= RAM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>8 GB - 64 GB</td>
<td>½ × RAM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>> 64 GB</td>
<td>workload dependent</td>
</tr>
</table>

In case you already have swap in the system, creates another swap file with the difference if necessary.
