Environment variables prevent vk_loader_settings.json layers control

[christophe-lunarg]

• If I enabled the VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation and API DUMP in vk_loader_settings.json and VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_profiles with 'VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS' and VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation with VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE, then VK_LAYER_LUNARG_api_dump is not added when creating the VkInstance according to the log below.

• Also, it would be very useful to get a Loader log information for each layers located and enabled by the Vulkan applications but already listed in vk_loader_settings.json so not placed at the application_enabled_layers or unordered_layer_location location.
