      Description

      Logging only works if the output type is set after the file path.
      This example (as in the MTR test provided with the code) works:

      install soname 'server_audit';
      
      set global server_audit_logging=on;
      set global server_audit_file_path='my_audit.log';
      set global server_audit_output_type=file;
      set global server_audit_incl_ddl_users='root';
      create table t1 (id int);
      drop table t1;
      
      let $MYSQLD_DATADIR= `SELECT @@datadir`;
      --echo # Check if file exists:
      list_files $MYSQLD_DATADIR my_audit.log;
      
      uninstall soname 'server_audit';
      

      Output:

      ...
      # Check if file exists:
      my_audit.log
      uninstall soname 'server_audit';
      

      But this one does not (I switched setting of file_path and output_type):

      install soname 'server_audit';
      
      set global server_audit_logging=on;
      set global server_audit_output_type=file;
      set global server_audit_file_path='my_audit.log';
      set global server_audit_incl_ddl_users='root';
      create table t1 (id int);
      drop table t1;
      
      let $MYSQLD_DATADIR= `SELECT @@datadir`;
      --echo # Check if file exists:
      list_files $MYSQLD_DATADIR my_audit.log;
      
      uninstall soname 'server_audit';
      

      Output:

      ...
      # Check if file exists:
      uninstall soname 'server_audit';

              As it is implemented now setting output_type=file tries to create the log file and set it for logging. And if the filename isn't properly specified, that naturally fails and output_type keeps 'null' value.
              Going to think how to change it.

              Fixed along with the MDEV-4767.
              So that the server_audit_file_path='server_audit.log' by default. And logging starts/stops with setting the server_audit_logging variable.
