[R] various R code maintenance (#1964)

* [R] xgb.save must work when handle in nil but raw exists

* [R] print.xgb.Booster should still print other info when handle is nil

* [R] rename internal function xgb.Booster to xgb.Booster.handle to make its intent clear

* [R] rename xgb.Booster.check to xgb.Booster.complete and make it visible; more docs

* [R] storing evaluation_log should depend only on watchlist, not on verbose

* [R] reduce the excessive chattiness of unit tests

* [R] only disable some tests in windows when it's not 64-bit

* [R] clean-up xgb.DMatrix

* [R] test xgb.DMatrix loading from libsvm text file

* [R] store feature_names in xgb.Booster, use them from utility functions

* [R] remove non-functional co-occurence computation from xgb.importance

* [R] verbose=0 is enough without a callback

* [R] added forgotten xgb.Booster.complete.Rd; cran check fixes

* [R] update installation instructions

Save xgboost model from xgboost or xgb.train
Save xgboost model to a file in binary format.
}
\details{
This methods allows to save a model in an xgboost-internal binary format which is universal
among the various xgboost interfaces. In R, the saved model file could be read-in later
using either the \code{\link{xgb.load}} function or the \code{xgb_model} parameter
of \code{\link{xgb.train}}.
Note: a model can also be saved as an R-object (e.g., by using \code{\link[base]{readRDS}}
or \code{\link[base]{save}}). However, it would then only be compatible with R, and
corresponding R-methods would need to be used to load it.
