gnu: elogind: Use itself as the cgroup controller.

Fixes a regression introduced in
fa67d5654176b4b815832eaf259188e1486c65ab whereby elogind would fail to
start with:

  Cannot determine cgroup we are running in: No data available
  Out of memory.

thereby preventing log-in altogether.

* gnu/packages/freedesktop.scm (elogind)[arguments]: Pass
"--with-cgroup-controller=elogind".
* gnu/tests/desktop.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.
