parse-error raised if directory matches standard library name

[whonore]

Bug description

pylint doesn't seem to like it when a directory has the same name as a standard library module, see the output below. I get the same error with something like pylint ./tests too. It works fine if you specify a specific file, like pylint tests/a.py.

Possibly related: #4444

Configuration

No response

Command used

mkdir pylint-test; cd pylint-test
mkdir collections math tests dir1 dir2
pylint *

Pylint output

************* Module math
math/__init__.py:1:0: F0010: error while code parsing: Unable to load file math/__init__.py:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'math/__init__.py' (parse-error)
************* Module collections
collections/__init__.py:1:0: F0010: error while code parsing: Unable to load file collections/__init__.py:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'collections/__init__.py' (parse-error)
************* Module tests
tests/__init__.py:1:0: F0010: error while code parsing: Unable to load file tests/__init__.py:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tests/__init__.py' (parse-error)

Expected behavior

No output since all the directories are empty.

Thanks for the clear report. Based on some digging (and a draft patch) I believe this to be a duplicate of #4444.
