Description

I'm extracting informations about docker-compose.yml files using docker compose config.

I would expect this command to be rather dumb, but it looks like it tries to fully load the config.

Using the --images argument should not require an env_file, in fact the env_file is only required to populate service's environment and this is not required to display the list of images.

Not that none of --no-consistency, --no-interpolate, --no-normalize and --no-path-resolution bypass this issue.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Given the following docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"

services:
  test:
    image: hello-world:latest
    env_file:
      - .env

2. Running docker compose config --images
3. Outputs: Failed to load /tmp/a/.env: open /tmp/a/.env: no such file or directory with return code 14

Compose Version

❯ docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.21.0

### Docker Environment

```Text
I doubt this is relevant.

Anything else?

I could not find documentation about return codes for the docker compose config command.
