[issue21409] setup.py check - should fail and retrun a non 0 exit code

[Jeff Hinrichs]

New submission from Jeff Hinrichs:

python setup.py check 
python setup.py check --restructuredtext

both incorrectly "warn" and don't "Fail" for things that will cause a failure when uploading to pypi.  This is wrong.

Additionally, they should return a non 0 exit code so they can be used as part of an CI such as drone.io / travis so the build will show as failing.  Currently they do not, and if there are errors that will cause a pypi failure (like an unreadable long description) bad things happen.
