[PATCH 1/2] linux: Add linux_get_vtno and linux_get_keeptty helpers

systemd-logind integration does not work when starting X on a new tty, as
that detaches X from the current session and after hat systemd-logind revokes
all rights any already open fds and refuses to open new fds for X.

This means that currently e.g. "startx -- vt7" breaks, and breaks badly,
requiring ssh access to the system to kill X.

The fix for this is easy, we must not use systemd-logind integration when
not using KeepTty, or iow we may only use systemd-logind integration together
with KeepTty.

But the final KeepTty value is not known until the code to chose which vtno to
run on has been called, which currently happens after intializing
systemd-logind.

This commit is step 1 in fixing the "startx -- vt7" breakage, it factors out
the linux xf86OpenConsole bits which set xf86Info.vtno and keepTty so that
these can be called earlier. Calling this earlier is safe as this code has
no side effects other then setting xf86Info.vtno and keepTty.

Note this basically only moves a large chunk of xf86OpenConsole() into
linux_get_vtno() without changing a single line of it, this is hard to see
in the diff because the identation level has changed.
