Maybe we don't need a special option: we should be able to detect this
situation when `-c` is passed from an emacsclient running in a "dumb
tty".

IOW it might be a simple matter of tweaking server.el for the case where
`tty-type` is `dumb` and the `selected-frame` is a non-GUI frame, in
which case we'll just want to create a new tty frame in the same
terminal as that of the `selected-frame`.
