Add sliderLabel input widget

[metanoid]

I had a project where I needed the choices displayed to the user to be character, but the underlying data should remain numeric.

This has been implemented as assuming that choices is a named numeric vector.

Can probably be improved.

Hi! Interesting idea! In your version this doesn't return the choices passed by the user : January should return 1 and not 0.

I think that's possible to do something like you want directly in sliderTextInput using a named list or by adding choicesNames and choiceValues arguments (like in radioButtons, checkboxGroupInput...) But it will require to change the JavaScript bindings.

Agreed, this is an off-by-one bug in my hastily written code - having it as a form of sliderTextInput would be much better but I don't have the skills to do that.
