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.

Research direction

Start with the repository search results for video_images_upload_enabled and inspect the VideoFeaturesView endpoint in cms/djangoapps/contentstore/rest_api/v0/views/authoring_videos.py. 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.
