[Rd] bug in ccf (PR#8893)

[ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk]

In time-aligning the two series there will be missing values, and you 
cannot compute a ccf for series with missing values, hence the problem.

ccf(x, y, na.action=na.contiguous) works.

I guess that using ts.intersect rather than ts.union would be a simple
workaround for this by automatically trimming the ends.
