 #29113 (ticket) does not respect TOTAL_FORM_COUNT variable anymore when
 validating a formset.

 Before:
 {{{#!python
 def is_valid(self):
     """Return True if every form in self.forms is valid."""
     if not self.is_bound:
         return False
     # We loop over every form.errors here rather than short circuiting on
 the
     # first failure to make sure validation gets triggered for every form.
     forms_valid = True
     # This triggers a full clean.
     self.errors
     for i in range(0, self.total_form_count()):
         form = self.forms[i]
         if self.can_delete and self._should_delete_form(form):
             # This form is going to be deleted so any of its errors
             # shouldn't cause the entire formset to be invalid.
             continue
         forms_valid &= form.is_valid()
     return forms_valid and not self.non_form_errors()
 }}}

 After:
 {{{#!python
 def is_valid(self):
     """Return True if every form in self.forms is valid."""
     if not self.is_bound:
         return False
     # Accessing errors triggers a full clean the first time only.
     self.errors
     # List comprehension ensures is_valid() is called for all forms.
     # Forms due to be deleted shouldn't cause the formset to be invalid.
     forms_valid = all([
         form.is_valid() for form in self.forms
         if not (self.can_delete and self._should_delete_form(form))
     ])
     return forms_valid and not self.non_form_errors()
 }}}

 The previous version used `total_form_count()` while the new version just
 iterates over `self.forms`.
 This broke a view in my case where I had:
 * a formset with some forms rendered in a page
 * the last form of the formset was hidden and did NOT count in
 `TOTAL_FORM_COUNT`

 Before the last form was ignored (and correctly not submitted), now it
 gets validated (even if it will not be submitted).
 Depending on the `can_delete` param of the formset, this issue could lead
 to two outcomes:
 * `can_delete=True`: `_should_delete_form()` throws `AttributeError:
 <form> has no attribute cleaned_data`
 * `can_delete=False`: formset is invalid because of the last form

 I consider it a bug since all the rest of the code of `BaseFormset` takes
 `TOTAL_FORM_COUNT` in consideration
