qemu-img: Document check exit codes

The exit code 63 (check not supported by image format) was not even
documented in the comment above the check command in the source code;
add it, as it does indeed seem useful.

Also, document all of check's exit codes in the manpage.

Only the formats @code{qcow2}, @code{qed} and @code{vdi} support
consistency checks.
In case the image does not have any inconsistencies, check exits with @code{0}.
Other exit codes indicate the kind of inconsistency found or if another error
occurred. The following table summarizes all exit codes of the check subcommand:
@table @option
@item 0
Check completed, the image is (now) consistent
@item 1
Check not completed because of internal errors
@item 2
Check completed, image is corrupted
@item 3
Check completed, image has leaked clusters, but is not corrupted
@item 63
Checks are not supported by the image format
@end table
If @code{-r} is specified, exit codes representing the image state refer to the
state after (the attempt at) repairing it. That is, a successful @code{-r all}
will yield the exit code 0, independently of the image state before.
