load_dataset for text files not working 
 Trying the following snippet, I get different problems on Linux and Windows.


```python
dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files="data.txt")
# or 
dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files=["data.txt"])
```

(ps [This example](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading_datasets.html#json-files) shows that you can use a string as input for data_files, but the signature is `Union[Dict, List]`.)

The problem on Linux is that the script crashes with a CSV error (even though it isn't a CSV file). On Windows the script just seems to freeze or get stuck after loading the config file.

Linux stack trace:
```

Windows just seems to get stuck. Even with a tiny dataset of 10 lines, it has been stuck for 15 minutes already at this message:

 @lhoestq Can you ever be certain that a delimiter character is not present in a plain text file? In other formats (e.g. CSV) , rules are set of what is allowed and what isn't so that it actually constitutes a CSV file. In a text file you basically have "anything goes", so I don't think you can ever be entirely sure that the chosen delimiter does not exist in the text file, or am I wrong? 

If I understand correctly you choose a delimiter that we hope does not exist in the file, so that when the CSV parser starts splitting into columns, it will only ever create one column? Why can't we use a newline character though?
