[Rd] rle() fails with NA's (PR#892)

> rle(c(1, NA, 1)
$lengths
[1] 3

$values
[1] 1

should be as in Splus:

$lengths
[1] 1 1 1

$values
[1] 1 NA 1

The Splus implementation (which works fine in R) is:

rle <- function(x){
 if(!is.atomic(x))
    stop("Argument must have an atomic mode")
  if(length(x) == 0)
    return(list(lengths = numeric(0), values = x))
  if(length(x) == 1)
    return(list(lengths = 1, values = x))
  x.int <- match(x, unique(x))
  ends <- c(diff(x.int) != 0, T)
  list(lengths = diff(c(0, seq(along = x)[ends])), values = x[ends])
}
