The Agent Bakery now logs all baking operations triggered from the GUI to the Setup audit log.

The following triggers are now recorded:

Manual Bake agents and Bake and sign agents actions from the Agent Bakery GUI
Bake all agents and Bake and sign all agents calls from the REST API
Automatic baking on host creation
Automatic baking on Activate Changes (when Bake agents on restart is enabled in Global Settings)
Initial baking on site creation

Each audit log entry shows the trigger source and the affected hosts (or "All hosts").

Note: Manual baking via cmk --bake-agents on the command line is not covered.
