[PATCH ghak73 V3] audit: re-structure audit field valid checks

[Richard Guy Briggs]

Multiple checks were being done in one switch case statement that
started to cause some redundancies and awkward exceptions.  Separate the
valid field and op check from the select valid values checks.

Enforce the elimination of meaningless bitwise and greater/lessthan
checks on string fields and other fields with unrelated scalar values.

Please see the github issue

Changelog:
v3:
- remove op negation for WATCH, DIR, PERM, FILETYPE (ghak114)
- move AUDIT_{SUBJ_{CLR,SEN},OBJ_LEV_{LOW,HIGH}} to range
v2:
- address WATCH, DIR, FILETYPE, PERM lack of op checking
- touch up switch statement formatting
