Pass VT number to xinit if XDG_VTNR is set

startx does this as well so that the launched session works correctly with
logind:

I've added the attached patch to the xfce4-session package in Arch Linux,
though I'm not sure of its correctness. Fedora has been patching startxfce4 for
a while now too. [1]

While my patch checks if XDG_VTNR is set (I believe this is set by
pam_systemd), both startx and the Fedora patch parse the output of `tty` to
determine the current VT; I don't know which approach is better.
