Resolve "Feature flag audit log substitute `_` to ` `"

Etienne Baqué requested to merge 10359-feature-flag-keep-underscore into master

What does this MR do?

This MR removes a character substitution that was performed on messages provided by AuditEvent instances (ie. substitution was replacing _ into a space).

However, this substitution is removed only for AuditEvent instances related to Feature Flags. Based on what I saw in the code, there can be many types linked to AuditEvent instances, and in some of these cases, the substitution may be legit and should be performed.

BEcause of this reason and to remain within the scope of what was observed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/10359, we're only removing the substution for events related to Feature Flags.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
