to_text() and to_annotated_text() dropped every child of a <ul> or <ol> that was not an <li>, so text and blocks between or after the items vanished while browsers show them (#1621). An unclosed list made it worse: the parser keeps everything after the last item inside the list, so the rest of the document went missing from the extracted text, about a fifth of one SEC filing in the report.

The text serializer now treats list content the way the Markdown serializer has since #864: content before the first item is a block of its own, content after an item continues that item indented under its marker, and an element wrapping <li> children is looked through so markers and numbering carry on. Plain and annotated text share that walk, so both keep the content.

 >>> parse("<p>a</p><ul><li>b</li><p>c</p><p>e</p>").to_text()
-'a\n\n* b'
+'a\n\n* b\n  c\n  e'
 >>> parse("<ul><li>b</li>tail</ul>").to_text()
-'* b'
+'* b\n  tail'

Closes #1621
