Improve file filtering in CI (#734)

The `transpiler-stages` notebook is broken, but will be tested in CI any
time someone edits it (even if just changing copy etc.). This breaks PRs
that are perfectly fine.

This PR ignores excluded files completely. I also took the opportunity
to:
- improve the code readability somewhat (i.e. less `path for path in
paths if path`),
- print a message when notebooks are skipped, otherwise someone running
`tox` locally might believe their notebook was fine even though it never
ran.
