 If I understand the code correctly, `AbstractRRset::toText()` and
 `TreeNodeRRset::toText()` shows different behaviors when the RRset
 includes an RRSIG in it: The former doesn't print the RRSIG while the
 latter does.

 Obviously this must be consistent.

 The fix is easy, but the main question is which behavior.  I
 personally suggest the `TreeNodeRRset' approach.  It's also consistent
 with the `toWire()` behavior, and IMO it's more intuitive for the
 concept of "signed RRset".  Optionally we might provide an option to
 control the behavior (or provide a different version of toText()), on
 which I don't have a specific opinion yet.

 Don't forget updating the documentation to clarify this point (and
 also for toWire()), too.
