MariaDB Audit Plugin 1.1.2 for MySQL not providing facility correctly

          Description

          We have configured the audit plugin to write to syslog so that log forwarding can send logs from all servers to a central repository. We have noticed a problem with the way the facility & priority are being sent.

          It looks like the facility is being shifted 3 to the left twice which is causing the final facility value to be out by a factor of 8.

          I've included a config.txt file to show the configuration we are using. and a tcpdmp.txt file to show the tcpdump output for LOG_AUTH and LOG_USER. both are with LOG_INFO (6) as the severity

          Basically, we are expecting final priority to be 14 for LOG_USER (8+6) and 38 for LOG_AUTH (32+6). But we are actually getting LOG_USER as 70 (8 * 8 +6) and LOG_AUTH as 262 (32*8+6) and this is only supposed to be an 8 bit integer.
