This change makes ReflectionDiffBuilder skip fields that cannot be accessed via reflection
instead of failing fast with an exception.
Previously, if reflective access to a field was denied (for example due to Java 9+ module
restrictions or security constraints), the diff process would abort entirely. This prevented
producing a partial diff even when most fields were accessible.
The implementation is limited to appendFields(...), where reflection access failures are
caught and ignored. This covers IllegalAccessException on Java 8 as well as runtime reflection
failures on newer Java versions. No public APIs were changed.
This keeps full Java 8 compatibility while improving robustness on restricted environments.
