bitbake: bitbake-layers: check layer dependencies before adding

In the original implementation, "bitbake-layers add-layers <layer>"
succeeded without error checking. This will further introduce
failures in recipe parsing only when "bitbake" command is executed.
Adding a meta layer without its dependency layer(s) should failed
and exit the process gracefully.

Added extra argument "-F" to force add a layer without checking
layer dependency.
