0034817: audit trail cannot be seen for unmodified records

Description

Feature request 0015851 made audit button inactive for records without changes (created and updated dates are equal) assuming for those records the only available audit trail information is the same that can be seen in standard audit fields. This assumption is correct for those records that are created from UI, but in case a record is created from a process, audit trail should include, not only the user that launcher the process that created the record, but also which this process was.

Not being able to see audit trail in this case, makes no possible to know the process that crated the record or if it is was manually created.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In a professional instance, activate audit trail for c_order_tax table
2. Create an order and process it
3. In Tax tab there is a record, select it
-> PROBLEM: audit button is disabled so I can't see it was created by the order post process.

Proposed Solution

Ideally, the button should be visible only when the record was created from UI, but to know this information audit trail would be queried per record, so would degrade performance.

After discussion with UX Expert:

A compromise solution not to degrade performance and to keep functionality implemented by 0015851 is to keep always audit trail button active, and to visually distinguish if the selected record has been changed since its creation or not.

Attached proposed icon to be used in this case.
