Updated patch following Hans de Goede's advice. If -seat option is passed with a value different from seat0, X server won't call xf86OpenConsole().
This is needed to avoid any race condition between seat0 and non-seat0 X servers. If a non-seat0 X server opens a given VT before a seat0 one which expects to open the same VT, one can get an inactive systemd-logind graphical session for seat0. This patch was first tested in a multiseat setup with multiple video cards and works quite well. I suppose it can also make things like DontVTSwitch and -sharevts meaningless for non-seat0 seats, so it may fix bug #69477, too.
