[Toaster] Toaster to work with non-git layers

[sujith h]

A gentle ping. There is a request from Mentor to review this patch. The
release would be pre 2.2 release ( around august 2016) for us at Mentor.
And hence if we can get through this change, that would be helpful. Or if
we can get https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8456 before
2.2 that would be helpful too. Because both address same cause.
