Change of behaviour for itertext() method

[Omer Nawaz]

I see a change of behavior for method itertext() moving to the newer version of lxml "4.4.1" from "4.3.5"

from lxml import html
div = html.fromstring('<div attrib1="" class="key-value__key key-value__key--compact"><!----> Some Text </div>')
print(div.text) # Output: None
[x for x in div.itertext()] # Output: ['', ' Some Text ']

Python : sys.version_info(major=3, minor=7, micro=2, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
lxml.etree : (4, 3, 5, 0)
libxml used : (2, 9, 9)
libxml compiled : (2, 9, 9)
libxslt used : (1, 1, 33)
libxslt compiled : (1, 1, 33)
