[PATCH v5 1/2] oe-setup-layers: support inline URI

Most of the time, when we describe a remote, the layer data (also used by
the script bitbake-setup) looks like this:

"bitbake": {
"git-remote": {
"remotes": {
"origin": {
"uri": "https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake"
}
},
...
}
}

i.e. an URI with the common name 'origin'. Alternatively, we could simplify this, by
using a shorter structure with the property 'uri' only:

"bitbake": {
"git-remote": {
"uri": "https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake

",
...
}
}

These properties can be used together.
