bsp-guide: Added a clarifying not about meta- in BSP layer names.
This note provides a bit of a warning or tip regarding naming
BSP layers. The letter of the law dictates that you don't
need to prepend a BSP layer name with the string "meta-".
However, scripts exist in OE where the naming convention is
assumed.
