      Note:
          In v1.3.16 and later, ``list_from_file`` supports loading a text file
          which can be storaged in different backends and parsing the content as
          a list for strings.
  
      Args:
          filename (str): Filename.
          prefix (str): The prefix to be inserted to the beginning of each item.
          offset (int): The offset of lines.
          max_num (int): The maximum number of lines to be read,
              zeros and negatives mean no limitation.
          encoding (str): Encoding used to open the file. Default utf-8.
          file_client_args (dict, optional): Arguments to instantiate a
              FileClient. See :class:`mmcv.fileio.FileClient` for details.
              Default: None.
  
      Examples:
          >>> list_from_file('/path/of/your/file')  # disk
          ['hello', 'world']
          >>> list_from_file('s3://path/of/your/file')  # ceph or petrel
          ['hello', 'world']
  
      Returns:
          list[str]: A list of strings.
