documentation/dev-manual: New Layer section and metadata link anchor
The change to the dev-manual-newbie.xml file was minor. I added a link anchor for the term "metadata." The change to the dev-manual-common-tasks.xml was extensive. I have added an entirely new section on layers called "Understanding and Using Layers." The new material has several sub-sections. Information was based on emails from Paul Eggleton.
