Rationale
This standalone endpoint was used to check the VIDEO_IMAGE_UPLOAD_ENABLED setting, but has since been rolled into a different API and its usage deprecated.
Removal
Removes the video_images_upload_enabled endpoint and supporting functions (see search results).
Replacement
This functionality was already rolled into the Contentstore API under the VideoFeaturesView endpoint.

Trace the endpoint, view, and check_video_images_upload_enabled function, then remove the listed supporting pieces while confirming the replacement API remains the source of this functionality.
