premisrw: always return unicode in text getter #57

See https://github.com/artefactual-labs/mets-reader-writer/commit/a08cec3dd56507a824e6251a319ad68d7ac97fe0 for more details.

Connects to https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/295.

Question: should we release as metsrw 0.4.0 instead? Is it a bug or a fix considering that this is Py2-specific and perhaps more of an oversight but still an API change? :smile:

Re: versioning, I guess so, but I think it doesn't really matter. We can keep this point in mind:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.
