Fix unable to start Medusa due to configparser ImportError (#5145)

* Fix `_configure_syspath` to handle `.pth` files

Fix `configparser`s package structure.
Add missing `.pth` file for configparser
`.pth` file renamed for simplicity - original name: `configparser-3.5.0-py2.7-nspkg.pth`.

* Explain the code better

* Update info on `ext/readme.md`

* Prepare `syspath` code for the future

* Update changelog
