Doc Text:	_audit_ rebased to 2.8.4 The _audit_ packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.8.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notable changes include: * Added support for dumping internal state. You can now run the "service auditd state" command to see information about the Audit daemon. * Added support for the `SOFTWARE_UPDATE` event generated by the rpm and yum tools. * Allowed unlimited retries during a remote logging startup. This helps to start even if the aggregating server is not running when a client is booted. * Improved IPv6 remote logging.	Story Points:	---
