[issue28788] ConfigParser should be able to write config to a given filename, not only into file object

[Serhiy Storchaka]

What is a problem with writing two lines of code?

    with open(...) as f:
        config.write(f)

If combine ConfigParser.write() with builtin open() you will need to add support of encoding, errors, buffering, newline, and other arguments supported by open(). And don't forgot to update this method after adding new parameters to open().

I'm -1. Not every two lines of code deserve including as a function in the stdlib. This will clutter the user interface, complicate the implementation, and add the burden to core developers for maintaining this code.
