[OE-core] [PATCH] layer.conf: Bumping LAYERVERSION_core

[Flanagan, Elizabeth]

This goes back to my RFC:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/39016

As we are removing meta-toolchain* and replacing it with bitbake
<imagename> -c populate_sdk this causes issues with those of us who
need to do automated builds both on the current development branch and
on prior development branches.

Example: For prior releases, I need to build meta-toolchain*. Without
having a simple way to figure out where this is no longer the case, I
(and other folks who run automated builds) end up having to jump
through a lot of hoops trying to figure out where this layer changed.
Utilizing LAYERVERSION_* to do it makes sense as there is a
significant change that would cause issues for build engineers. Prior
to this I was utilizing LCONF, which was the wrong solution, but just
happened to work in the example I'm thinking of.
