This is a utility function for converting a string obtained from a manifest
into a list. If the string is not a valid list when converted, an error will be
raised from `ast.eval_literal`. For example, you can convert entries like this
into a list:
```
test_settings=
["hello", "world"],
[1, 10, 100],
values=
5,
6,
7,
8,
```
