[issue45217] ConfigParser does not accept "No value" reversely to the doc

[sbougnoux]

New submission from sbougnoux :

Just the simple following config crashes

"""
[Bug]
Here
"""

Hopefully using "Here=" solves the issue, but the doc claims it shall work.
https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/configparser.html?highlight=configparser#supported-ini-file-structure

Save the config in "bug.ini", then write (it will raise an exception)
"""
from configparser import ConfigParser
ConfigParser().read('bug.ini')
"""

[issue45217] ConfigParser does not accept "No value" reversely to the doc

Thanks for your prompt answer. Don't you think it should be the default? It 
seems like unneeded precision. Just if you want to check one don't miss a 
value, but in that case, one can use 'allow_no_value=False'.
