dev-manual: Cleaned up layer naming terminology
Reality dictates that the YP does not treat layer naming consistently. Layers are talked about as the "meta-whatever" layer and never the "whatever" layer. However, the tooling sometimes appends or uses just the "whatever" part of the layer name. A good example is the meta-yocto-bsp configuration file. All the variables in there use just the root name of a layer's name. In the manuals, I had been distinguishing the layer name as just the "whatever" part sans "meta-". I talked about the convention of using "meta-" in front of layer names, etc. Well, this is confusing in light of how everyone says a layer's name is "meta-whatever". So, I fixed all this up.
