[Streaming Audit Event] Git fetch actions

Release notes

Problem to solve

Users are interested in understanding more about how and who interacts with their git repos. This is currently not very easy since there are no audit events that record different interactions.

Proposal

Create a streaming audit event whenever a git fetch action occurs.

Modify AuditEventService to have an optional argument for streaming_only that defaults to false per #343984 (comment 718782751).

Why is this not in normal audit events?

Because of the frequency of git actions, creating a normal audit event would generate an overly large volume of data for us to store. Putting it in streaming audit events-only is a better fit so that folks interested in it can capture and examine the events that are relevant for them.
