Bug #3001: Ruby stdlib: Benchmark::Tms #memberwise drops labels

The implementation of Benchmark::Tms#memberwise only passes the computed time values when creating a new instance, e.g.:

        Benchmark::Tms.new(utime.__send__(op, x),
                           stime.__send__(op, x),
                           cutime.__send__(op, x),
                           cstime.__send__(op, x),
                           real.__send__(op, x)
                           )

It would seem consistent (and more informative) if it also passed in the current label (especially since there's no other way to set it):

        Benchmark::Tms.new(utime.__send__(op, x),
                           stime.__send__(op, x),
                           cutime.__send__(op, x),
                           cstime.__send__(op, x),
                           real.__send__(op, x),
                           label
                           )

Example:

>> t =  Benchmark.measure("foo") { sleep 0.1 } 
=> #<Benchmark::Tms:0x1011d03d8 @cstime=0.0, @total=0.0, @cutime=0.0, @label="foo", @stime=0.0, @real=0.100059986114502, @utime=0.0>
>> t2 = t / 2
=> #<Benchmark::Tms:0x1011be6d8 @cstime=0.0, @total=0.0, @cutime=0.0, @label=nil, @stime=0.0, @real=0.050029993057251, @utime=0.0>
