[PATCH RFC] xfree86: add option -notty to prevent VT allocation

[Peter Hutterer]

Provided the driver permits it, Xorg -notty will not create a VT on startup.
Currently this driver list includes dummy and qxl only.

This seems to do the job, it restores the original behaviour by default, but
started with -notty the server skips the VT allocation provided all drivers
set HW_SKIP_CONSOLE.
