audit: log audit netlink multicast bind and unbind



Log information about programs connecting to and disconnecting from the
audit netlink multicast socket. This is needed so that during
investigations a security officer can tell who or what had access to the
audit trail.  This helps to meet the FAU_SAR.2 requirement for Common
Criteria.

Here is the systemd startup event:
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(2020-04-22 10:10:21.787:10) : proctitle=/init
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(2020-04-22 10:10:21.787:10) : arch=x86_64 syscall=bind success=yes exit=0 a0=0x19 a1=0x555f4aac7e90 a2=0xc a3=0x7ffcb792ff44 items=0 ppid=0 pid=1 auid=unset uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=(none) ses=unset comm=systemd exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd subj=kernel key=(null)
type=UNKNOWN[1335] msg=audit(2020-04-22 10:10:21.787:10) : pid=1 uid=root auid=unset tty=(none) ses=unset subj=kernel comm=systemd exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd nl-mcgrp=1 op=connect res=yes

And events from the test suite that just uses close():
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(2020-04-22 11:47:08.501:442) : proctitle=/usr/bin/perl -w amcast_joinpart/test
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(2020-04-22 11:47:08.501:442) : arch=x86_64 syscall=bind success=yes exit=0 a0=0x7 a1=0x563004378760 a2=0xc a3=0x0 items=0 ppid=815 pid=818 auid=root uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=ttyS0 ses=1 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)

type=UNKNOWN[1335] msg=audit(2020-04-22 11:47:08.501:443) : pid=818 uid=root auid=root tty=ttyS0 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl nl-mcgrp=1 op=disconnect res=yes

And the events from the test suite using setsockopt with NETLINK_DROP_MEMBERSHIP:
