Exit non-zero when snapshot create --skip-errors skips anything it cannot read (closes #310)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A backup under --skip-errors printed its skip errors, then "Finished
successfully.", and exited 0, so a cron wrapper could not tell it from
a complete backup.

Each skipped entry, including a directory the walk could not list, is
now counted as examined and failed. If --skip-errors skipped anything
it could not read or list, the run still keeps its snapshots and
prunes as before, then fails with "Backup completed, but N file(s)
could not be read". A file removed during the run, even before the
walk reaches it, counts once as failed and leaves the exit status
alone; without the flag it no longer stops the backup. Excluded
entries are never counted.

Packing and storage errors while creating a snapshot (which would leave a chunk recorded but not stored) still abort the run. A run that skipped anything still finishes but exits non-zero: `snapshot create` keeps the snapshot and counts each file or directory it skipped as failed. A file removed during the backup is also counted as failed but does not change the exit status.
