docs/node-mixin: Improve memory pressure rule

The `instance:node_memory_swap_io_pages:rate1m` rule was intended to
measure the amount of memory pressure a system is under, but its name is
a bit misleading (it specifically refers to swap), and the rate of
`node_vmstat_pgmajfault` is a better metric for memory pressure
(see #1524).

This commit renames `instance:node_memory_swap_io_pages:rate1m` to
`instance:node_vmstat_pgmajfault:rate1m`, and defines it as
`rate(node_vmstat_pgmajfault{%(nodeExporterSelector)s}[1m])`. The
dashboards are updated accordingly.
