Audit records deletion batch support

Support

Problem:
When the audits record deletion expires it also cleans up the taxonomies table. Neither of these deletes are “batched” through the rails command: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/lib/tasks/audits.rake#L12

Expected outcome:
This should be “batched” similar to reports and other cleanup tasks to ensure it does not “time out” in the rails console/mariadb and not complete, or lock for extended periods of time.

Thank you for reporting this issue! could you please open an issue on our redmine tracker and perhaps even contribute a PR fixing it?
If you have a very large audits table, would also be useful getting some timings from it comparing deletion before and after the change.

I’ve opened Feature #26053: Audit records deletion batch support - Foreman

Thanks for the sanity check that I’m not just missing x/y/z functionality already built in!
