A test method is "skipped" only if a dependency of the test failed (e.g. a
@BeforeMethod method). A test that's in a different group may be considered
"ignored" or "disabled", but it's not "skipped". Since TestNG is not even
trying to run the method, it shouldn't run any @BeforeMethod/@AfterMethod
methods for it either.

I wrote a test class with different groups for the test method and each
confguration method, and the only configuration methods that ran even with
no test method in the default group were @BeforeTest/@AfterTest.
