bug#23604: desktop-restore-in-current-display should default to t

The current default value for desktop-restore-in-current-display is nil, and this default causes real problems with Emacs users that run the tmux terminal multiplexer atop xterm. Emacs hangs, and users have to kill it. To work around this problem for most users, let's change the default value from nil to t.

This request is inspired by Bug#20247, which is currently listed as a blocker for Emacs 25. I'm filing this new bug report so that we can list the new bug report as a blocker for Emacs 25, and stop listing Bug#20247 as a blocker. The underlying bug will still be present, but there is no trivial fix for it and the idea is that fixing the underlying bug can wait until after Emacs 25 comes out.

The bottom line is that this new bug report asks to install the patch described in <http://bugs.gnu.org/20247#16>.
