[PATCH v6 RFC 07/10] ephyr: ignore "-novtswitch", "-sharevts", and "-layout seatXXX" command-line options

Multiseat-capable display managers commonly pass command-line options
like "-novtswitch", "-sharevts", or "-layout seatXXXX" to Xorg server, but Xephyr
currently refuses to start if these options are passed to it,
which may break Xephyr-based single-GPU multiseat setups.
