logrotate: do not enable logrotate.service itself

logrotate.timer is enough for rotating logs. Enabling logrotate.service would
make the service start on every configuration switch, leading to tests failure when
logrotate is enabled.

Also update test to make sure the timer is active and runs the service
on date change.
