New macro: Wrap let-binding of uninterned SYMBOLS around BODY

* org-macs.el (org-with-gensyms): New macro. Wrap let-binding of
SYMBOLS to new uninterned symbols around BODY.

Use this macro to compose macros that need to bind their own symbols
in expansion. It expands into a let-binding of all symbols in SYMBOLS
to new uninterned symbols that cannot collide with symbols used in the
target macro's expansion.
