org-export: Add `active' and `inactive' alternatives to `org-export-with-timestamps'

* contrib/lisp/org-export.el (org-export-with-timestamps): Allow to
  keep only active timestamps or inactive ones with respectively
  `active' and `inactive' values.
(org-export--skip-p): Update tests to determine if a timestamp should
be ignored.
* testing/lisp/test-org-export.el: Add tests.
* contrib/lisp/org-element.el: Fix some comments.
