[issue29895] Distutils blows up with an incorrect pypirc, should be caught

Full details and stacktrace are at: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43001446/python-pypi-configparser-blowing-up-when-pointing-to-certain-repo/43001770#43001770

Essentially, I had an index-servers section that listed a repo, that was not 
listed in the remainder of the .pypirc file. Instead of distutils catching 
this, it blows up in an obscure ConfigParsing error.

Hi,

I think option B might be best, because the issue was that I didn't know at 
first that the problem was in my .pypirc. I think this stack trace is not the 
most elegant way for the user to figure that out. Maybe catching this and then 
presenting a human readable error to the user would be better.
