meta-ibm: move all meta-witherspoon metadata

The metadata common to all IBM systems is confusingly split between
meta-ibm and meta-witherspoon.  Move everything to meta-ibm.

The meta-ibm README is re-written to more accurately reflect the scope
of the layer.

Allow the configuration samples (bblayers.conf.sample,
local.conf.sample) to be sourced from either meta-ibm or
meta-witherspoon until such a time that any workflows and tooling have
had the opportunity to move to meta-ibm.

OpenEmbedded/Yocto/OpenBMC BSP layer for IBM systems

This layer provides support for the BMC firmware on IBM POWER systems server products.

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
layers: meta
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-phosphor
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-openpower
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-aspeed
branch: master
revision: HEAD

The following systems are supported.

Witherspoon, or AC922, is an IBM POWER9 two-socket, 2U Accelerated Compute Server with up to 6 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. More information can be found here.

In addition to witherspoon, this layer contains additional machine configurations such as swift. The default machine target is witherspoon, so in order to build a different configuration, or to build witherspoon after building a different one, set the MACHINE environment to the desired configuration name (see the conf/machine/ subdirectory for available options):

export MACHINE=machine_configuration_name

Then build:

bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

Example:

export MACHINE=swift
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
bitbake phosphor-logging

export MACHINE=witherspoon
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
