feat: allow unlimited memory_swap in docker_container (#138)

* feat: allow unlimited memory_swap in docker_container

summary: in docker_container, allow `memory_swap: values
`unlimited` and `-1` for unlimited container swap usage.

`--memory-swap=-1` is a valid docker run value allowing
unlimited swap usage. `docker_container` should allow
setting this value via `memory_swap` values `unlimited`
and `-1` as it sometimes must explicitly be set to prevent
docker from attempting to limit swap usage to double the
`--memory` value by default. In rootless docker environments,
attempting to set `memory-swap` usage limits will result in an error
if the user doesn't have the ability to do so. Allowing explicit
unlimited swap usage via docker_container will prevent these errors.

* Apply suggestions from code review

- "docker_container - allow ``memory_swap: -1`` to set memory swap limit to unlimited. This is useful when the user cannot set memory swap limits due to cgroup limitations or other reasons, as by default Docker will try to set swap usage to two times the value of ``memory`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/138)."
