[maven-release-plugin][skip ci] prepare release 25.3.0.42

This introduces a new audit record reporting mechanism for intercepting current audit entries. The implementation adds the ability to report audit data to audit storage in addition to the traditional database storage.

Key changes:

- Added new audit record classes and utilities for structured audit data handling
- Introduced configurable audit destination settings (database vs audit storage)
- Created audit record reporter interface and implementation
