          Description

          From test comments:

          > - setting server_audit_mode at runtime to 0 is allowed but has no effect
          i wouldn't do anything about it. That variable is not to be used by a customer anyway.

          This is a strange.
          If the variable is not needed at all, just remove it.
          If the variable is set by the server automatically and should not be changed by a human being, make it a status variable.
          If the variable is needed but as static, make it read-only.
          If the variable needs to be dynamic, make it work.

                Addition (considering the description in https://mariadb.com/kb/en/about-the-mariadb-audit-plugin/):
                ...
                If the variable is intended for debug, make it debug-only.

                There is even an actual question from an actual user for that:
