dm cache: policy change version from string to integer set

Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers
corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end
of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated
the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.
