Vulkan Loader doesn't return an error when the driver binary couldn't be found #1790

Describe the bug
After discussions with @richard-lunarg and @aitor-lunarg, I started investigating running Lavapipe and KosmicKrisp on macOS using vk_loader_settings.json (generated from Vulkan Configurator).

When adding drivers, eg the following vk_loader_settings.json file, the additional drivers are not found by Vulkan Configurator or vulkaninfo.

Additionally, simply copying the additional drivers in /usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d next to MoltenVK doesn't work either.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS

To Reproduce

[vk_loader_settings.json](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/23125923/vk_loader_settings.json)
