clean up two macros in ob-comint

* lisp/ob-comint.el (org-babel-comint-with-output,
org-babel-comint-in-buffer): clean up code.

This patch replaces some deeply nested ca/dr calls with ‘nth’, and
replaces a setq/unwind-protect/setq incantation with a simple let
binding.  Finally, it also restructures ’org-babel-comint-in-buffer’
to not needlessly save/restore match and excursion data if the buffer
process is not live, and to use with-current-buffer instead of
save-excursion+set-buffer
(info "(elisp) Excursions")
