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

There is currently no way to see that the needs_check flag has been set
in the metadata.  Display 'needs_check' in the cache status if it is set
in the cache metadata.

Also, update cache documentation.

A metadata operation has failed, resulting in the needs_check
