Those binaries are built by fstests, so there is absolutely no harm
in requiring them. If they didn't get built, then the fstests
install is in no shape to be run because it wasn't built correctly.
And by adding them here, we do not need to clutter up tests with
lots different requires - we just say "we require swapfile support"
and that pulls in everything swapfile related. This makes the tests
easier to review and maintain because there is less that needs to be
done to write a swapfile related test.
