This is a leftover from one of the RFC iterations, where
the property contained available machines, distros and templates.
As all of those were dropped from the final version, there is no
reason to list the layers either anymore.
Normally this would be a backwards incompatible change, but as
the layer setup itself was just merged, I think we can do a quick
fixup :-)

This addresses a long standing gap in the core offering:
there is no tooling to capture the currently configured layers
with their revisions, or restore the layers from a configuration
file (without using external tools, some of which aren't particularly
suitable for the task). This plugin addresses the 'capture' part.
Note that the actual writing is performed by a sub-plugin; one such
sub-plugin is provided (for the json + python script format), but
more can be added (e.g. kas, repo, etc.).
How to save a layer configuration:
a) Running with default choices:
$ bitbake-layers create-layers-setup /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
NOTE: Created /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/setup-layers.json
NOTE: Created /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/setup-layers
b) Command line options:
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
usage: bitbake-layers create-layers-setup [-h] [--output-prefix OUTPUT_PREFIX] [--writer {oe-setup-layers}] [--json-only] destdir
Writes out a configuration file and/or a script that replicate the directory structure and revisions of the layers in a current build.
positional arguments:
destdir Directory where to write the output
(if it is inside one of the layers, the layer becomes a bootstrap repository and thus will be excluded from fetching).
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--output-prefix OUTPUT_PREFIX, -o OUTPUT_PREFIX
File name prefix for the output files, if the default (setup-layers) is undesirable.
--writer {oe-setup-layers}, -w {oe-setup-layers}
Choose the output format (defaults to oe-setup-layers).
Currently supported options are:
oe-setup-layers - a self-contained python script and a json config for it.
--json-only When using the oe-setup-layers writer, write only the layer configuruation in json format. Otherwise, also a copy of scripts/oe-setup-layers (from oe-core or poky) is provided, which is a self contained python script that fetches all the needed layers and sets them to correct revisions using the data from the json.
