fix(promtail): correctly parse list of drop stage sources from YAML (#10848)

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR fixes YAML parsing of the `source` field in the drop stage when
said field is a list of strings. Because this list is not being
recognized in the code as a list of strings, but rather as a list of
generic `interface{}` elements, it fails a type check and throws an
error. In order to fix this, an `interface{}` list is manually converted
to a `string` list. The problem was already reproducible with existing
tests, but the test YAML mistakenly referred to the field as `sources`
rather than `source`.

**Which issue(s) this PR fixes**:
Fixes #10095
