mvim: '+' argument doesn't work with '--remote' and friends #1445

Description

@tomory

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Type
    mvim + --remote <filename>
    
    or
    mvim +2 --remote <filename>
    

, where <filename> is an existing file with more than one line.
4. Observe that the cursor is at the top of the file, not the end as directed by + (nor the line specified by +n).

Expected behaviour

Per mvim --help:

+ Start at end of file
+<lnum> Start at line

Upon opening, the cursor should have been positioned on the last line of the file (or the line directed by the +<lnum> form).
