[issue23711] ConfigParser module blames on section less ini file

[Maxim Kot]

New submission from Maxim Kot:

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Sections) says:
>Keys may (but need not) be grouped into arbitrarily named sections

But when it's trying to parse file without section header - "MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers" raised.

Can such check be made optional and switched on for default for example?
