Description
As discussed here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Layers/pull/6#discussion_r863983597
In an HPC context, unconditionally doing file system operations in home folders can result in the job hammering the network filesystem. As a safety I would add an environment variable preventing the automatic loading of any user configuration from the home folder. Using the OPENCL_LAYERS_SETTINGS_PATH should still work even with this safety activated.

Research direction
Read the discussion on pull request #6 and trace the configuration-loading entry point for home-folder settings. Verify that the new safety setting prevents automatic home configuration loading while an explicit OPENCL_LAYERS_SETTINGS_PATH continues to work.
