dm cache: display 'needs_check' in status if it is set

in the cache metadata.
Also, update cache documentation.

+needs_check : 'needs_check' if set, '-' if not set
+ A metadata operation has failed, resulting in the needs_check
+ flag being set in the metadata's superblock. The metadata
+ device must be deactivated and checked/repaired before the
+ cache can be made fully operational again. '-' indicates
+ needs_check is not set.
