[Toaster] Toaster to work with non-git layers

[sujith h]

Hi,

Mentor Graphics is planning for yocto 2.2 release. I believe we have plenty
of time. But still organization wants me to get through with these patches
to upstream. So I have pushed couple of commits in
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=sujith/toaster-no-git-layers
.

This patch should work as below:
1) Except poky all the other layers or dirs should be non-git
2) A script is added which will auto generate toasterconf.json file based
on the information from the bblayers.conf. So the user should have the
required layers already populated in the bblayers.conf. To run the script
user will have to provide the conf directory path as option. ( like
--confdir=/home/sujith/gitroot/poky/build/conf ). This conf directory will
be the location where local.conf and bblayers.conf will be residing.
3) Export toasterconf.json file which will be created in the build
directory. For example:
    export TOASTER_CONF=/home/sujith/gitroot/poky/build/toasterconf.json
4) Run toaster.
5) User should be able to see the layers in the UI. Which should be ready
for the build.

Thanks,
Sujith H
