If the current directory contains a ill-formed setup.cfg, setting up a virtual env fails, caused by ensurepip failing:

Expected behaviour:
running ensurepip should completely ignore the content of the current working directory.

How to reproduce:

$ rm -rf /tmp/v2
$ mkdir /tmp/v2
$ cd /tmp/v2
$ cat > setup.cfg <<EOF
> [options]
> setuptools_requires
> EOF
$ python3 -m venv /tmp/v2/_venv
Error: Command '['/tmp/v2/_venv/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 2.
$ /tmp/v2/_venv/bin/python3 -Im ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

Just wanted to say, I ran into this while using direnv. See the issue I opened before knowing of this one: https://bugs.python.org/issue43038
