After a lot of experimentation, I did manage to get swap file
hibernation to work.
The dracut module for resuming is, for some reason, not enabled by
default.  (At least on the minimal install that I tried.  Maybe because
I didn't create a swap partition at install time?)  These are the steps
I had to do:
Run "filefrag-v /swapfile" to get the offset.
Edit the grub environment to add the resume and resume_offset options to
the command line.
Regenerate the initramfs using "dracut -f -a resume" to get the resume
script included.
Set selinux to permissive.
Run "systemctl hibernate".

I can confirm that this is working, but I don't understand if the resume module 
is not included then how can Fedora resume from a swap partition and not a swap 
file?

That's a good question that I don't have an answer to.

Also the SELinux exceptions mentioned in this topic - will they work in this 
case ?

Yes, it's the same case. It's the hibernating that is blocked by selinux, not the resuming.
