Exclude doesn't work with files

[Timmmm]

Bug Report

If you specify some files for mypy to find with the files = config option, then exclude can't let you ignore them. E.g.

To Reproduce

$ cat mypy.ini
[mypy]
files = **/*.py
exclude = .*
$ cat foo/bar.py 
asdsdfsdf
$ mypy
foo/bar.py:1: error: Name "asdsdfsdf" is not defined
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

Expected Behavior

exclude should override files.

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 0.910
• Mypy command-line flags: See above
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): See above
• Python version used: 3.8
• Operating system and version: Centos of some kind

This is documented behaviour: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line.html#cmdoption-mypy-exclude

If you pass a file or module explicitly it will still be checked. For instance, mypy --exclude '/setup.py$' but_still_check/setup.py.

Consider using per-module ignore errors

Ah it's not clear that files = ... is the same as passing files on the command line. Maybe worth documenting.

It would be nice if there was a way to do files_exclude = ... but for now I will just run Mypy over each file one by one using a script. :-/
