Verbose summary shows wrong number of skipped files

[sblask]

Bug description

When running pylint with --verbose it prints a summary of files checked and skipped, but I find the number of skipped files is wrong. I couldn't find a way to output what files pylint thinks it has skipped, so it's hard to do any kind of verification. Minimal example:

a directory with two files:

• empty
• foobar.py

with empty being empty (this is to make sure pylint does not pick up another rcfile that cause the problem) and foobar.py containing:

LaLa = ""

Then when running pylint foobar.py --verbose --rcfile empty it says 1 file checked and 1 skipped which can hardly be true if there is only one input file.

Configuration

Command used

pylint foobar.py --verbose --rcfile empty

Pylint output

$ pylint foobar.py --verbose --rcfile empty
Using config file empty
************* Module foobar
foobar.py:1:0: C0114: Missing module docstring (missing-module-docstring)
foobar.py:1:0: C0103: Constant name "LaLa" doesn't conform to UPPER_CASE naming style (invalid-name)

Checked 1 files, skipped 1 files

Expected behavior

Pylint should say Checked 1 files, skipped 0 files. It would also be good if there was a way to print the names of the files that were actually checked and/or skipped.

I think it's a duplicate of #9357, and could be fixed by #9375 (but it's blocked because the the verbose output should be generated at the end but during collection instead. (And there's a mess of duplication to deal with.)

[sblask]

@Pierre-Sassoulas printing the files would definitely help (especially if passing many files or using --recursive), but something must be broken currently, otherwise the stats wouldn't be wrong. And it wouldn't be helpful to get:

Checked:
foobar.py
Skipped:
foobar.py
