Copying files fails upon encountering a directory without read permissions

Description

When trying to copy files from one location to another, Thunar's file transfer dialog will cancel the transfer altogether when trying to copy a directory for which the user does not have read permissions.

This behavior is opposed to how Thunar acts when encountering a file for which the user does not have read permissions, in which case it will prompt the user to Retry, Skip, etc.

Thunar should allow the user to skip/retry copying directories for which the user does not have read permissions in the same way as it does files.

Thanks!
