Title:
  swap is not discovered for nvme devices

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  scripts/casper-bottom/13swap only looks for swap on
  /dev/[hsv]d[a-z][0-9]* devices, missing any /dev/nvme* devices (which
  are common now).

  I've got a patch that rejigs the logic slightly so that if /dev/[hsv]d[a-z][0-9]* (or /dev/nvme*) is missing completely, it doesn't try and use that regex as the device string.
  It also makes it a little more robust so we don't have to loop twice, or consider variable scoping for the $devices variable, by removing it's usage after the first for loop.
