bpo-33251: Prevent ConfigParser.items returning items present in vars. (#6446)

* bpo-33251: ConfigParser.items no longer returns items present in vars.

Documentation for `ConfigParser.items()` states:
'Items present in vars no longer appear in the result.'

This fix aligns behaviour to that specified in the documentation.
