#908: Define uninterned symbols in the manual

The Chicken manual lists procedures gensym, string->uninterned-symbol and
symbol-append under section "Generating uninterned symbols" but never
explains what uninterned symbols are. It would be helpful if somebody who
is familiar with the internals of Chicken writes a paragraph or two on
what uninterned symbols are and about the implications of their use.
Furthermore, although symbol-append is listed under that section, its
documentation says that it generates a "new interned symbol", so perhaps
it should be moved to a different section.
