Joshua Lock 971907567c Enable build dir outside of the poky directory
You need to first set up the build directory by sourcing the poky build script,
after that builds can be run in that directory so long as bitbake is in $PATH
removing the need to source the init script for each build.

i.e:
$ . poky-init-build-env ~/my-build
$ bitbake some-image
<<later, in a different shell>>
$ cd ~/my-build
$ export PATH=/path/to/bitbake/bin:$PATH
$ bitbake an-image

This patch also removes use of OEROOT in recipes, etc.

Joshua Lock 3a6948a2af handbook: add documentation for layers
Collections and overlays are deprecated in favour of layers, a much cleaner and
non-intrusive way of extending Poky with custom recipes, classes and
configuration.

This patch updates the Extending Poky section of the handbook to show how to
use layers to tailor Poky while dropping  the existing section on using
collections.
