+ and - appended to typename in bind 9 query logging

It's a feature of my own invention ...
I was unhappy with the fact that migrating from bind8 to bind9 implied
the loss of distinction between recursive and non-recursive queries in
the querylogs. So I hacked the code to fix it (see patch below).
This is intended to go into bind9 sometime, but I haven't spent the time
to figure out how to get it submitted.
+ indicates a recursive query, - indicates a non-recursive query,
the lack of + or - indicates a non-patched bind9 ...
