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.

Research direction
Research the implementation of the `ipfs add` command in the kubo repository, likely in the `core/commands` directory. Examine how file reading errors are currently handled and where a ` continue` flag could be added. Review any existing discussion in the issue comments for additional context. Also check if there are prior attempts or related issues by searching for 'continue' or 'skip' in the codebase.
