Bug Description
Add an option into lightdm.conf to mark if LightDM can use VTs.
[LightDM]
can-use-vts=true
If this is true, then for the xlocal seat you can do use switching using VTs but only one seat is allowed (since switching VT would switch all the seats).
If this is false user switching is disabled but multi-seat is allowed.

This may not be what you had in mind, but the bzr branch I just associated with this bug adds a new per-seat 'xserver-vt' option. If 'xserver-vt=0', then:
* VT switching will not be performed for the Seat
* the "vtXX" argument will not be passed to X
* the "-sharevts" argument will be passed to X
* XDG_VTNR will be left unset
