logind: make sure there's always a getty available on TTY6

Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no
getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins.

With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT
(6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation,
i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession
of it.
