Allow multiple values for package_data in setup.cfg (#11805).
Even though the resources system obsoletes data_files and package_data
(see bug discussion), package_data still exists to allow compatibility
with distutils and thus an easier transition. In setup.py, the values
are lists of glob patterns, so the setup.cfg syntax needed a way to
express multiple values too.
Doc for this option will be added later as part of the big packaging doc
patches. For now, the test serves as example.
