Description

When creating a archive the tar command simply skips any files it can not read and creates the tar file anyway. This behavior will be very useful for ipfs add. I am unsure if this should be the default action through.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the implementation of `ipfs add` in the kubo codebase, particularly how files are added and errors handled. Look for the command definition in `core/commands/add.go` and the underlying logic in `core/coreunix/add.go`. Identify where to add a ` continue` flag that skips unreadable files and continues with the rest.
