Alex Goodman 0152e5b59c fix: a damaged entry truncates the archive instead of failing it
a read error while copying one entry (a zip CRC mismatch, a corrupt deflate stream) was returned from `add`. That aborted the walk, and `Extract` threw away every entry already stored. So a large war with one damaged, irrelevant entry produced zero packages with the feature on, while java's legacy path (which reads only the entries it needs) still cataloged it.

- a read error on one entry now drops that entry and marks the resolver truncated (`entry "x" could not be read: ...`), and the walk continues
- if the stream itself breaks partway (a truncated `.tar.gz`), whatever was read before the break is kept and the archive is truncated. With nothing read it is still an error, as before
- disk limit and decompression budget errors still stop the walk
