audit: disable DDL by default

DDL audit category doesn't make sense if its enabled by default on its
own, as no DDL statements are going to be audited if audit_keyspaces/audit_tables
setting is empty. This may be counter-intuitive to our users, who may
expect to actually see these statements logged if we're enabling this by
default. Also, it doesn't make sense to enable a setting by default if
it has no effect.
Additionally, listed all possible audit categories for user's
convenience.
