textbox_grob's name argument appears to not work

[matthewstern]

textbox_grob has been incredibly useful for me, but I noticed that although name is listed as an argument in the documentation, assigning a name doesn't appear to have any impact on the gTree object that the function creates:

Input:

library(grid)
library(gridtext)

sample_textbox <- textbox_grob("I am a grob", 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5,
                               name = "grobname",
                               box_gp = gpar(fill = "gray90"))
grid.newpage()
grid.draw(sample_textbox)

sample_textbox$name

Output:
[1] "GRID.textbox_grob.198"

On inspection of the source code, it appears that name = name is missing from the gTree creation at the end of the textbox_grob function, where it is included in richtext_grob. Is there a reason for this? It would be helpful for me to be able to name the gTree that is created by the function.

No good reason, other than me being stubborn because I fundamentally dislike grid's grob naming system. (It's one of the reasons grid performance is poor.)

Feel free to prepare a PR that fixes this.
