Dataset.from_generator raises with sharded gen_args
Author: hartmans | Pull request: no | State: closed

### Describe the bug

According to the docs of Datasets.from_generator:
```
        gen_kwargs(`dict`, *optional*):
            Keyword arguments to be passed to the `generator` callable.
            You can define a sharded dataset by passing the list of shards in `gen_kwargs`.
```
So I'd expect that if gen_kwargs was a list, then my generator would be called once for each element in the list with the dict in the list for that element.
It doesn't work that way though.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
#!/usr/bin/python

from pathlib import Path
import datasets

def process_yaml(file):
    yield dict(example=42)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    dir = Path(sys.argv[0]).parent
    ds = datasets.Dataset.from_generator(process_yaml, gen_kwargs=[{'file':f} for f in dir.glob('*.yml')],
        )
    ds.to_json('training.jsonl')
    

```
```

mapping, not list


### Expected behavior

I would expect that process_yaml would be called once for each yaml file in the directory where the script is run.
I also tried with the list being in gen_kwargs, but in that case process_yaml gets called with a list.
