meta-openpower: enhance README.md

Add words to the layer README.  The existing README is somewhat terse.
Expand it some, adopting some of the conventions from other well-known
OE BSP layers (used meta-freescale as a template).

Briefly describe the goal of the layer.  The goals mention full
implementations for OpenPOWER reference platforms, which doesn't match
reality today; however, the current plan/thinking is to consolidate the
meta-foo layers for each reference platform into meta-openpower.

Added layer dependencies.  meta-openpower depends on oe-core,
meta-phosphor and meta-aspeed.

Add contributing guidelines and style guide.
