bpo-41376: Fix the documentation of site.getusersitepackages() (GH-21602)
`site.getusersitepackages()` returns the location of the user-specific site-packages directory
even when the user-specific site-packages is disabled.
```
$ python -s -m site
sys.path = [
'/home/user/conda/lib/python37.zip',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/user/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages' (doesn't exist)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: False
```
It was not practical to prevent the function from returning None if user-specific site-packages are disabled, since there are other uses of the function which are relying on this behaviour (e.g. `python -m site`).
