bpo-23835: Restore legacy defaults= behavior for RawConfigParser (#3191)
The fix for bpo-23835 fixed ConfigParser behavior in defaults= handling.
Unfortunately, it caused a backwards compatibility regression with
RawConfigParser objects which allow for non-string values.
This commit restores the legacy behavior for RawConfigParser only.
