docs: add more details to -cacheDataPath vmselect flag (#6708)

Browse source 
vmselect will create `./tmp` dir under `cacheDataPath`. If
`cacheDataPath` is set to `/`, vmselect will use `/tmp`.

content under `/tmp` dir might be auto removed based on the OS
behaviour. See:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5770

- [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing
guidelines](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/).
