Don't mark a build failed if all subbuilds pass, but artifacts not found

[alexkogon]

We have a build with the following .ci.yml configuration:

plugins: - artifacts: '/screenshots//.'

to archive screenshots from failed browser tests.

However, if the browser tests pass, the screenshots directory is not present, and we would just like to do nothing, but DotCI treats this as a build failure, as shown below. We would like this to not be marked as a failure, minimally as an option in the .ci.yml (I don't know if there is any case where you would want it to fail if the files are not present, but as long as we can turn that off we're happy)
