bpo-19610: Warn if distutils is provided something other than a list to some fields (#4685)
* Rather than raise TypeError, warn and call list() on the value.
* Fix tests, revise NEWS and whatsnew text.
* Revise documentation, a string is okay as well.
* Ensure 'requires' and 'obsoletes' are real lists.
* Test that requires and obsoletes are turned to lists.
