Description

Sometimes there are python functions that are used across multiple lambda functions. These are usually helper functions or additional dependencies to be injected or just a common set of `requirements.txt` to have a consistent environment.

It would be useful if we can package a chalice app as a layer and use that layer as a dependency like a standard python module in other lambda functions.
