Description
vkcube has a --force_errors command line argument that allows to quickly check the validation layer is working.
For the crash diagnostic layer, we don't have an equivalent way to check everything is setup properly.
It could be convenient to add a --force_crash command line arguments for this purpose.

Research direction
Start by finding vkcube's command-line argument handling and the existing --force_errors path, then inspect how the crash diagnostic layer is initialized. Add the requested --force_crash behavior and verify that running vkcube with it exercises the crash diagnostic setup.
