Gracefully truncate entity_path in audit_events

Tan Le requested to merge 230430-truncate-entity-path-on-audit-events into master

What does this MR do?

With the introduction of the new entity_path field and its length constraint (i.e. 5,500), we would like to ensure audit instrumentation trying its best to save this piece of information. When the length exceeds this length, we'd like to silently truncate the value and allow users to carry on with their main action.

Relates to #230430 (closed)
