Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: note on readme

Added a note in the "Creating Layers" section noting that to be
Yocto Project compliant, a layer must contain a README file.  This
change was prompted by a discussion over the fact between Robert
P. J. Day and Mark Hatle.
