manifest: Explicitly make 'layers' optional

Most folks will distribute images containing layers, but the specified
behavior applies cleanly to the layer-less case too.  The unpacked
rootfs will just be an empty directory with unspecified attributes.
Folks might want to use that sort of thing for namespace pinning [1],
distributing configs [2], setting up containers that mount the meat
from the host [2], etc.
