Allow the audit log to be rotated when MySQL starts

Description

Whilst there are workarounds, e.g. used a format-specific extension for audit_log_file and make sure it matches if you change audit_log_format, it would be nice if you could make sure that the log was rotated when the server starts, e.g. audit_log_rotate_onboot

.. you end up with mangled logs if you change format and forget to rotate manually, etc

This is implemented for the new audit plugin.

Log file will be rotated during server shutdown. If it fails to do so for some reason, there will be another attempt during server startup.
