devtool/copy_buildsystem: adds meta-skeleton layer in the eSDK installation.

The eSDK installation requires the meta-skeleton layer.
The build system might use the meta-skeleton recipes as layout
to create custom recipes. An example is the recipetool script
that uses the meta-skeleton kernel recipe when creating a custom
kernel recipe.
