factor out layer copying into its own function

[maxfreu]

Hi! I have factored out the layer copying from writelayers into its own function. So basically I changed (pseudocode):

function writelayers()
  create() do
    copystuff
  end
end

to

function writelayers()
  create() do
    copylayers(src, dst)
  end
end

function copylayers(src, dst, ...)
  copystuff
end

That should now allow to copy data from and to arbitrary datasets, whether on disk or not. You can also give the layer indices you want to be copied. I added a tiny test for that. Furthermore I adjusted the docstrings for nicer rendering in the REPL. I'm not sure with the naming copylayers, is it ok? What do you think in general? Lastly, this supersedes #381, but I can take that part out if you want to merge this before the change to GDAL.

Overall LGTM (modulo the changes requested), thank you!

[maxfreu]

I've just made the requested changes except for one :)

@visr can I get your review here since it supersedes #381?

[maxfreu]

I just removed the line superseding #381, as it's just a minor change anyway. Now it can be merged regardless of the changes in GDAL itself.

Looks good to me, thanks!

[maxfreu]

Oh I just saw that the GDAL PR had already been merged and that you closed #381. I'll put the line back tomorrow, then this can be merged.

Ok, done - sorry for the forth and back!
