Clarify (lack of) retention policy for Audit Events in the docs

Brie Carranza requested to merge docs-audit-events-retention into master

What does this MR do and why?

The GitLab Support team has seen a few tickets from customers who want to know what the present retention policy is for Audit Events. As a part of our approach to deflecting tickets through documentation, I am assembling this merge request to introduce an answer to this query to our docs.

There are two issues in our issue tracker about this:

I have linked to the #8137 (closed) issue because it's older and is associated with the Category:Audit Events but I think it would be similarly reasonable to link to #216847 as it is more recent and has been modified more recently. Regardless, this MR (and updates I plan to add to each issue) will link the two issues together.
