Updates the Security guide's permission-audit description to cover the new \`otel\` mode, listing the OTel attributes (deno.permission.type / .value / .stack) and a runnable example. Adds a row for DENO_AUDIT_PERMISSIONS to the special-environment-variables table and cross-links to the security page. Refs denoland/deno#32501
The otel sink for DENO_AUDIT_PERMISSIONS shipped in 2.7.5 (deno#32501), not 2.8. Drop the 'Starting in Deno 2.8' / 'Deno 2.8+' qualifiers.

Thanks for documenting this. Please bump the YAML last_modified date on both changed pages before merge. This PR makes substantive content changes to runtime/fundamentals/security.md and runtime/reference/env_variables.md, but their frontmatter dates remain 2026-03-26 and 2025-12-19 respectively on the 2.8 base. The docs repo convention is to update last_modified for substantive content changes.
- Add a "Permission audit" subsection under the OpenTelemetry Logs section describing the DENO_AUDIT_PERMISSIONS=otel mode and the emitted log record attributes. - Bump last_modified on security.md and env_variables.md as requested in review.
