Incorrect log and task instance join query based on task_id in eventLogs API #59965
Description
Apache Airflow version
main (development)
If "Other Airflow 3 version" selected, which one?

What happened?
The audit log page has been very slow in our environment. There are a lot of generated dags with same task_id present in different dags. Upon loading the events for a dag we noted that join for task instance is made on TaskInstance.task_id which results in incorrect join where events related to other task instances of same id are also returned. The query generated is as below where LEFT OUTER JOIN (task_instance based on task_id seems to be problematic. The default behavior should be fixed. The query is also loading everything though dag_id and task_display_name are the only required fields which can be improved.

How to reproduce
- Parse and let the below dags complete 3 runs each.
- Go to audit log tab and check the events.
- Mark the task instance as failed and reload the page.

Look at the linked things -> there is apparently #59973 -> and again - commenting/reviewing it is a good idea.
