[Toaster] Design - the All layers page

Hi,

If the "source" value is not already defined I propose that we define an optional one that Toaster can use if present. I am sure Alex already has a heuristic for existing YP layers so no changes there. This is to help the mass of 2nd and 3rd party plus customer layers where "imported" is too broad a category.
