[OE-core] "bitbake-layers show-overlayed" doesn't match its "help" message

[Robert P. J. Day]

  (wasn't sure whether this belonged with current layers thread, it
seemed appropriate to start a new one since it's fairly specific.)

$ bitbake-layers help
... snip ...
  show-overlayed
    list overlayed recipes (where the same recipe exists in another layer that has a higher layer priority)
... snip ...

  tested with with a yocto checkout and, sure enough, there's no
overlays:

$ bitbake-layers show-overlayed
Parsing recipes..done.
No overlayed files found.
$

  so as a test, i copied the "tiny-init" recipe from
meta-yocto/recipes-core to meta/recipes-core, and:

$ bitbake-layers show-overlayed
Parsing recipes..done.
=== Overlayed recipes ===
tiny-init:
  meta-yocto           1.0
  meta                 1.0
$

  those two layers have the same priority, but the help suggests that
you'll only see instances of recipes from layers that have a
*different* priority -- not quite true.

p.s.  i'm assuming that overlaid recipes are just a bad idea anyway,
and should be used only in unusual circumstances, yes?
