Log audit event when updating protected environments

What does this MR do and why?

Record an audit event when changes are made to a Protected Environment.

The following changes would result in an audit event:

Protected Environment attributes

  • Change in the required approval count

**Protected Environment - Allowed to Deploy (**protected_environment.deploy_access_levels)

  • Added
  • Deleted
  • Updated, when the authorizable target (access_level/user/group) is changed

**Protected Environment - Allowed to Approve (**protected_environment.approval_rules)

  • Added
  • Deleted
  • Updated
    • when the authorizable target (access_level/user/group) is changed
    • when the required approval count is changed

This is another iteration of !130494 (closed), which was closed because the implementation was based on code outside of the EE folder.
