Bug Report Checklist

• I have read and agree to Mocha's Code of Conduct and Contributing Guidelines
• I have searched for related issues and issues with the faq label, but none matched my issue.
• I have 'smoke tested' the code to be tested by running it outside the real test suite to get a better sense of whether the problem is in the code under test, my usage of Mocha, or Mocha itself.
• I want to provide a PR to resolve this

Expected

When a test is skipped via skip it shows "skipped" in the report including the reason passed to skip and you can click it and see the test.

Actual

It shows "pending" and there's nothing to click

Minimal, Reproducible Example

mocha.setup('bdd');

describe('test', () => {

  it('one', async function () {
    this.skip('reason1');
  });

  it('two', function (done) {
    this.skip('reason2');
  });

  it('three', function () {
    this.skip('reason3');
  });

  it('four', function () {
  });

});

mocha.run();

Additional Info

I'm guessing this is considered "working as intended"? Every other test system I've used (which isn't many) tells you "skipped" when skipping a test. Pending = the test is still running with a very long timeout.

I spent an hour or more trying to figure out why skip wasn't working since it wasn't telling me 'skipped' but 'pending'. That's when I made the minimal repo and found 'pending' apparently means 'skipped' because if I don't call 'done' then I get a timeout
