TXT adds an TXT record To a domain. The name should be the relative
label for the record. Use `@` for the domain apex.

The contents is either a single or multiple strings.  To
specify multiple strings, include them in an array.

TXT records with multiple strings are only supported by some
providers. DNSControl will produce a validation error if the
provider does not support multiple strings.

Each string is a JavaScript string (quoted using single or double
quotes).  The (somewhat complex) quoting rules of the DNS protocol
will be done for you.

Modifers can be any number of [record modifiers](#record-modifiers) or json objects, which will be merged into the record's metadata.
