Use /dev/tty0 instead of /dev/console for VT operations

Bug description:
LightDM currently uses /dev/console for VT operations. In Ubuntu 16.04
this does not appear to work anymore. Switching to /dev/tty0 works,
and this matches what logind and GDM use.
When these operations don't work this can affect the ability to switch
between sessions.
There doesn't seem to be any documentation on what the correct device
to use for VT operations is, so matching other software is probably
just reducing the risk of hitting bugs.
