Paul Eggleton 3d2f6d5610 bitbake-layers: use directory name as layer name

It turns out that using the collection name as specified within
layer.conf (i.e. what gets added to BBFILE_COLLECTIONS) as a name to
refer to the layer is not particularly useful, since layer creators
aren't necessarily setting these to a meaningful value - e.g. OE-Core
uses "normal", meta-oe uses "openembedded-layer", etc. In any case,
BitBake uses the directory name in its list of configured layers in the
system information presented upon starting a build, so let's just do the
same here and avoid confusion.

Also rename the get_append_layer function to get_file_layer since it is
in no way specific to bbappends.

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
