Subject: [PATCH] Fix stray `>` before a textarea that directly follows an
 element

printElement prints printOpeningTagPrefix for elements whose content is
preserved (pre-like elements such as textarea), but printOpeningTag
already prints that prefix through printOpeningTagStart. When the
element borrows the previous sibling's closing `>`, it is printed
twice, so `<label>a</label><textarea></textarea>` became
`<label>a</label>><textarea></textarea>`.

Fixes #1288
