don't archive tagged dir when recursing an excluded dir, fixes #3991

if we are recursing an explicitly excluded directory, we are only
looking for explicitly included items, but we do not need to archive
tagged directories or the tag files themselves - they are all excluded
by the explicit exclusion already.

for performance reasons, we still determine whether a directory is
tagged and if it is, we do not recurse into it as there can't be any
included items in there.
