concepts-manual: Added a section on "Layers"
The section briefly introduces layers but leaves the real explanation to the section in the getting-started manual, which this section references. (From yocto-docs rev: 9b3957a5d7c3a2f6b41ec26205ae31f3b2d05643) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

194 Layers are repositories that contain related sets of instructions
195 that tell the OpenEmbedded build system what to do.
196 You use different layers to logically separate information in your
197 build.
198 You can collaborate, share, and reuse layers.
199 The Layer Model simultaneously supports collaboration and
200 customization.
