List of attack clients

Hi

I have tried to add list of attack id but I got type mismatch error.

(fs) PS C:\temp\FederatedScope-backdoor-bench> python federatedscope/main.py --cfg scripts/backdoor_scripts/attack_config/backdoor_fedavg_convnet2_on_femnist.yaml
Namespace(cfg_file='scripts/backdoor_scripts/attack_config/backdoor_fedavg_convnet2_on_femnist.yaml', client_cfg_file=None, opts=[])

Start with federatedscope/main.py and federatedscope/core/configs/config.py, then inspect scripts/backdoor_scripts/attack_config/backdoor_fedavg_convnet2_on_femnist.yaml and how attack.attacker_id is defined and merged. Run the reported command with a list of client IDs; done means the configuration loads without the int-versus-list type mismatch.
