flatten out audit tags, do not send as free-form (#20256)

move away from map[string]interface{} to map[string]string to simplify the audit, and also provide concise information. avoids large allocations under load(), reduces the amount of audit information generated, as the current implementation was a bit free-form. instead all datastructures must be flattened.
