Orinigally VK_ICD_FILENAMES was documented to only be able to use full paths to ICD Manifest files. This is untrue, as VK_ICD_FILENAMES, and its replacement VK_DRIVER_FILES is able to find drivers using full paths as well as paths to folders containing manifest files. This commit amends the documentation to reflect that capability as well as adding a test for that use case.

Fixes #613
