The new --addditional-layers parameter takes a list of layer
directories and adds them to the build configuration before starting
testing. The resulting base configuration then more closely matches
a full distro.
This is relevant in two cases:
1. some layers like meta-freescale dynamically enable more recipes
in their layer.conf depending on which other layers are active,
so testing only against OE-core might miss problems which occur
only when also some other layers are active
2. BSP layers might be fine in combination with machines from
OE-core, but might break in combination with some other machines
As before, test_signatures only warns about signature changes
introduced by the layer which is under testing, and not those changes
introduced by the additional layers.
