📄 Description

Some enhancements for cases like MoltenVK where a Vulkan support library is directly linked. Allows for disabling the part of vulkan-hpp that loads the library from a file with dlopen, instead using the vkGetInstanceProcAddr that is already linked in.

This helps with development builds as you no longer need to make sure that the MoltenVK path is in the dynamic link library path at runtime, plus it just cuts some waste from loading a library that's already linked.

I've also added an override USE_SYSTEM_VULKAN_LOADER for Mac as if you have the full SDK installed it's useful to be able to load validation layers for debugging.
