Slide or tile over a Ranges object

tile_ranges(x, width)

slide_ranges(x, width, step)

`x`	a Ranges object
`width`	the maximum width of each window/tile (integer vector of length 1)
`step`	the distance between start position of each sliding window (integer vector of length 1)

The tile_ranges() function paritions a Ranges object x by the given the width over all ranges in x, truncated by the sequence end. The slide_ranges() function makes sliding windows within each range of x of size width and sliding by step. Both slide_ranges() and tile_ranges() return a new Ranges object with a metadata column called "partition" which contains the index of the input range x that a parition belongs to.
