bugfix: false negative when audit_config is defined along with audit and config file not found (#1367)

Suppress the file not found error only when we have audit or auditEnv is defined and they have valid output captured.
As, we already have output from audit command. So we can proceed for our tests even though we didnt find config file.
file not found error: `failed to run: "/test/config.yaml", output: "/bin/sh: line 1: /test/config.yaml: No such file or directory\n", error: exit status 127`

Resolve: #1364
