[PATCH 3/3] Makefile: use git-archive --add-file

Add untracked files for the dist target directly using git archive instead of calling tar cr to append them. This reduces the dependency on external tools and gives the untracked files the same access times and user information as tracked ones, integrating them seamlessly.
