... and display a `log_notice()` to the user if it is in order to
inform them about audit messages being logged during the upgrade,
as well as suggesting that they stop and disable the unit before
the upgrade.

In Debian Bookworm and earlier, audit messages were not logged by
default [0], whereas the unit was active by default. This was changed
in between Bookworm and Trixie; the patch that changed the default was
dropped [1], whereas the unit is now disabled.

This means that the unit will remain active during the upgrade, which
will in turn cause a lot of audit message log spam.
