Subject: [PATCH] Vendors in audit log are no longer prefixed with "the"
 (#95389)

## About The Pull Request

Uses `vendor.name` if possible, so it's referred to as "VendingMachine"
rather than "The VendingMachine"

## Why It's Good For The Game

Reads a bit better with all the entries presented

## Changelog
