tile() and slidingWindows() now preserve names

[PeteHaitch]

This would've been useful to me the other day. Might help others, too

I'll let @lawremi take care of this one.

Heads-up: I'm not terribly happy with the current proliferation of "tiling tools" (successiveIRanges(), successiveViews(), tileGenome(), tile(), slidingWindows(), and maybe more...) with more or less overlap between them (see my comment at the top of https://github.com/Bioconductor/IRanges/blob/master/R/tile-methods.R). This will need to be revisited at some point.

I did see and appreciate those comments - I only learnt of `tile()` last week! I'm hoping this change is small enough to include while the decision about the various tools is worked through.

@lawremi I'm not sure if you want to incorporate this patch or close the issue?

Sorry I just missed this.
