date_range breaks with tz-aware start/end dates and closed intervals in 0.18.0.rc1

[multiloc]

The following works on 0.17.1 but breaks on the release candidate 0.18.0.rc1

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> pd.date_range(start=pd.Timestamp('20150101', tz='UTC'), end=pd.Timestamp('20150105', tz='UTC'), closed='left')
DatetimeIndex(['2015-01-01', '2015-01-02', '2015-01-03', '2015-01-04'], dtype='datetime64[ns, UTC]', freq='D')

On 0.18.0.rc1:

In [2]: pd.date_range(start=pd.Timestamp('20150101', tz='UTC'), end=pd.Timestamp('20150105', tz='UTC'), closed='left')

The fix looks simple, I'll post a PR in a bit
