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.
