[issue22253] ConfigParser does not handle files without sections

New submission from kernc: ConfigParser does not handle files that specify options in the global section (first option specified before any section is). This configuration behavior is present in the configuration files in the wild [1, 2], and while the naive workaround is simple, ... really

[issue22253] ConfigParser does not handle files without sections

kernc added the comment: I, for one, would actually prefer if global options were parsed by default and MissingSectionHeaderError was deprecated instead. From what little specification available, INI format does **not** require options be in sections [4, 5]. Additionally, Linux and Unix

[issue22253] ConfigParser does not handle files without sections
