cover Add brief layer blurb to BSP Developer's Guide

From: Tom Zanussi <[email protected]>

To make it easier for users find info on how to use BSP layers without having to dig around in the BSP READMEs or Poky Reference manual, add a short blurb with pointers to more info elsewhere.

                 Below is the common form for the file structure inside a base directory.
                 While you can use this basic form for the standard, realize that the actual structures
                 for specific BSPs could differ.
