Major Hayden 98fdd520a0 Disable DAC change auditing
This patch disables all of the discretionary access control (DAC)
auditing in auditd. This should reduce the volume of logs created
during deployments and during OpenStack CI jobs.

The patch also corrects an incorrect key in the audit logs for
V-38568.

Deployers can enable auditing for fchownat usage by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_audit_DAC_fchownat: yes
