bitbake-layers/create: Improve help message for layerid argument

'Layer ID' isn't a commonly used term in our help messages or
documentation, so clarify that this is the identifier used for the new
layer in BBFILE_COLLECTIONS.

Also clarify that the default is the basename of the layerdir argument
if a layer ID is not separately provided.
