Title:  Add a `@linq` macro with operator chaining and common macro operations.

This is another experiment. Here is an example of `@linq`:

```julia
x_thread = @linq df |>
transform(y = 10 * :x) |>
where(:a .> 2) |>
by(:b, meanX = mean(:x), meanY = mean(:y)) |>
orderby(:meanX) |>
select(:meanX, :meanY, var = :b)
```

Relative to the use of individual macros, chaining looks cleaner and
more obvious with less noise from `@` symbols. This approach also
avoids filling up the limited macro name space. The main downside is
that more magic happens under the hood.
