docs: clear write-good.Passive hits in swarm secrets/README docs

Browse source 
Part of #4548 — third batch. This PR: docs/swarm/secrets.md (16 hits),
docs/swarm/README.md (15 hits) = 31 more of the 353 (130 total across
the three PRs so far).

Same method as #4551/#4553: minimal, meaning-preserving active-voice
rewrites, no restructuring beyond what each flagged sentence needed,
no vale-off silencing.

Genuine false positives left in place: predicate-adjective state
descriptions ("is required" x4, "is enabled", "is disabled"), one
systemd terminology reference ("is wanted (not required)" — literally
naming systemd's Wants=/Requires= dependency-type distinction, not
passive voice), and one design-intent idiom ("both are expected" —
same shape as earlier docs-lint work).
