Issue description

When we've configured lambda with a custom docker image, and also configured python requirements layer using serverless-python-requirements (of course for custom image functions we can't attach a layer)

Here expected to deploy the application without error, or at least show an error/warning to convey that layers are not supported for custom image functions, instead I got the error.

Here better to add one validation, which will raise an error if we configure the layers for custom image functions.
