Create a new generic Yocto layer

This command creates a generic Yocto layer based on the specified
'meta-layer-name'. The -o option can be used to place the layer in a
directory with a different name and location.
+ If layer_priority is specified, a simple layer will be created using
+ the given layer priority, and the user will not be prompted for
+ further input.

NOTE: Once created, you should add your new layer to your
bblayers.conf file in order for it to be subsequently seen and
modified by the yocto-kernel tool. Instructions for doing this can

SYNOPSIS
- yocto-layer create <layer-name> [-o <DIRNAME> | --outdir <DIRNAME>]

DESCRIPTION
'meta-layer-name'. The -o option can be used to place the layer
in a directory with a different name and location.
+ If layer_priority is specified, a simple layer will be created
+ using the given layer priority, and the user will not be prompted
+ for further input.
+
The layer-specific properties that define the values that will be
used to generate the layer can be specified on the command-line
using the -i option and supplying a JSON object consisting of the
default = False, help = "dump the generated code to layergen.out")
