Commit 1829fb61 ("manifest: Fix crash on startup when trying to clean up
unused files (#5840)") changed the config layer stored in manifests
from a pointer to a value. This was done in order to avoid potential
nil pointer dereferences after it is deserialized from JSON in the
event that the field is missing.

This changes the Layers slice to also be stored by value. This enables
consistency in handling across the two objects.

Currently if the config field is missing in the manifest file (or
corrupted), Ollama will crash when it tries to read it. This can
happen at startup or when pulling new models.

This data is mostly just used for showing model information so we
can be tolerant of it not being present - it is not required to
run the models. Besides avoiding crashing, this also gives us the
ability to restructure the config in the future by pulling it
into the main manifest file.
