docs: dev-manual: common-tasks: highlight creating your own layer is not required
Three's been some feedback saying that people actually missed that paragraph and thought creating the layer by hand was the only way to do it instead of leveraging bitbake-layers create-layer tool. Let's try to make it a bit more obvious one does not need to create the layer by hand by putting the paragraph into a note.
