If we're doing a daemon-reload, we'll be going from TIMER_DEAD => TIMER_WAITING, so we won't use inactive_exit_timestamp because TIMER_DEAD != UNIT_ACTIVE, even though inactive_exit_timestamp is serialized/deserialized and will be valid after the daemon-reload. This issue can lead to timers never firing as we'll always calculate the next elapse based on the current realtime on daemon-reload, so if daemon-reload happens often enough, the elapse interval will be moved into the future every time, which means the timer will never trigger. To fix the issue, let's always use inactive_exit_timestamp if it is set, and only fall back to the current realtime if it is not set.
