#5735 Rewrite define-session and define-session-public macros

[David Kastrup]

Rewrite define-session and define-session-public macros

The byte compiler of Guile-2.x is not able to compile anonymous
functions/closures into constants. Rewriting the macros not to rely
on such constants by moving the local functions into their own
function definitions is the easiest expedient.

Passes make, make check and a full make doc.

Patch on countdown for Feb 8th.

As this is a sort-of trivial rewrite with no user-accessible consequences and needed for Han-Wen's work on Guile 2, I am pushing this early. I'd have done it sooner but had too much on the plate. Sorry for that.
