bitbake: bitbake-setup: allow using {THISDIR}/my-layer

This implement the ability to use "{THISDIR}/my-layer" in the
"bb-layers" list. "{THISDIR}" is remplaced by the directory containing
the configuration file.

In small projects, we try to keep the setup a simple as possible: a
single git repo containing both the build confguration (e.g.
a bitbake-setup configuration file) and the meta layer with project
recipes/machine/distro.

This change allows this kind of setup:
├── meta-my-project/ # the project layer
└── my-project.conf.json   # the bb-setup configuration file

by writing, in my-project.conf.json:
  "bitbake-setup": {
    "configurations": [{
      "bb-layers": [
        "{THISDIR}/meta-my-project"

Note: in this case meta-my-project is not present as a "source", so, not
handled by bb-setup update/status. It is expected of the user to handle
this on their own (is our case, a simple git workflow).
