bsp-guide: Added a clarifying not about meta- in BSP layer names. 

This note provides a bit of a warning or tip regarding naming
BSP layers.  The letter of the law dictates that you don't
need to prepend a BSP layer name with the string "meta-".
However, scripts exist in OE where the naming convention is
assumed.

The string "meta-" is prepended to the machine or platform name, which is
<replaceable>bsp_name</replaceable> in the above form.
<note><title>Tip</title>
Because the BSP layer naming convention is well-established,
it is advisable to follow it when creating layers.
Technically speaking, a BSP layer name does not need to
start with <filename>meta-</filename>.
However, you might run into situations where obscure
scripts assume this convention.
