docs: clear write-good.Passive hits in docs/swarm/ca.md

4 genuine passive-voice rewrites (actor named — you, the swarm, nix);
3 false positives left untouched — a design-constraint description
with no single correct actor across both provisioning modes ('is
issued with pathlen:1'), a governance/definitional statement ('who is
allowed to decide'), and the already-established predicate-adjective
classification ('is misconfigured').

It's deliberately not an assertion: this module can see what _it_ is
able to issue, but not an operator-installed sub-CA in
`swarm.ca.stateDir`, an external ACME setup, or a certificate delivered
by any other means. If you have arranged one, the warning is expected
and can be ignored. Otherwise either install the sub-CA, or pin the
by any other means. If you have arranged one, expect the warning and
ignore it. Otherwise either install the sub-CA, or pin the
names back under the hive domain — a supported migration, since the
sub-CA carries a name constraint on the _configured_ names and the
swarm root carries no name constraints at all.
