[Lazarus] Linux GUI Application define CONSOLE

applications that does not require a X server

Linux applications are console, Linux doesn't have integrated GUI as a part
of the system like Windows (which is why replacing X server with something
else is quite easily possible). Everything (including X server) runs on top
of it. It's just a matter of showing the console or not. Launching Lazarus
from terminal will show output log during its execution without the need to
redirect to file via --debug-log option, which is mandatory on Windows.

I don't think it's possible on Linux. Do you have any need for that?
