btrfs-progs: docs: improve space cache documentation

- "Wipe" in storage terms is often understood as some kind of secure
  deletion.  Use "remove" instead in order to indicate that the space
  cache is fully removed (and not just cleared and then e.g.
  automatically rebuild).

- The --clear-space-cache option for btrfs check actually clears the
  whole space cache, just as documented.  Thus move any documentation
  about the clear_cache mount option not doing so for v1 to that.
  Instead, refer to the mount option.

- Also note that when clear_cache is used with v1, the free space cache
  for block groups that are modified gets always cleared, but rebuilt
  only if nospace_cache is not used.
