fetchart: handle sources config given as plain string

When the 'sources' config is a plain string (e.g. "sources: filesystem"
rather than "sources: [filesystem]"), confuse 2.2.0's Pairs template
iterates over individual characters instead of treating it as a single
source name. This is because Pairs no longer inherits StrSeq's
string-to-list normalization.

Normalize the config value to a list before calling as_pairs() so both
forms work correctly.

Fixes #6336
