Atemu d3113a62b8 nixos/startx: send Xorg log to the default location
This partially reverts bf3d3dd19b.

I don't know why we weren't getting a default logfile back then but Xorg
definitely provides one now ($XDG_DATA_HOME for regular users and /var/log for
root, see `man Xorg`)

Whether to enable the dummy "startx" pseudo-display manager,
which allows users to start X manually via the "startx" command
from a vt shell. The X server runs under the user's id, not as root.
The user must provide a ~/.xinitrc file containing session startup
commands, see startx(1). This is not automatically generated
from the desktopManager and windowManager settings.
