org-manual, org-guide: Improve timestamp documentation

* doc/org-manual.org (Dates and Times): Explain the purpose of
timestamps in the opening paragraphs.
(Timestamps): Mention that time range.  Clarify that an entry may
contain multiple timestamps, providing an example.  Explain formal
time range meaning, with example.  Add cindex entry "time range".  Add
date range example.
* doc/org-guide.org: Syncronoize changes with org-manual, adding some
missing pieces.
(Timestamps): Remove useless cindex entries (org-guide does not
produce index).
