Adding feed experiment for 2022-06-03 (#17824)

This commit contains two separate but related changes:

1. A check-list for creating a new experiment.
2. A new experiment along with declaring a winner for the previous experiment.

Below are the diffs of the two new variants versus the incumbent for the
experiment:

```

<   "order_by": "final_order_by_random_weighted_to_score",
---
>   "order_by": "relevancy_score_and_publication_date",
```

```

# Checklist for creating a new feed experiment:
#
# - [ ] Create and/or reference the forem/forem issue with desired configuration
# - [ ] Identifyer the winner for the past experiment by adding the `winner:
# <variant-name>` attribute to the past experiment.
# - [ ] Copy the previous experiment and prepend and rename to
# `feed_strategy_starting_CCYYMMDD`
# - [ ] Update the `start_date` to `CCYY-MM-DD`
# - [ ] Assign the variants; the winner of the previous experiment SHOULD be in
# this array.
# - [ ] Remove the winner from the newly copied `feed_strategy_starting_CCYYMMDD`
# - [ ] Assign weights and make the corresponding
# `./config/feed-variants/*.json` files where * is the new named variants.
# - [ ] Each newly named variant should have a description; typically briefly
# explaining the difference between it and the winner of the last experiment.
# - [ ] Run `bin/rspec spec/services/articles/feeds/variant_query_spec.rb` to
# verify each newly added variant's SQL
# - [ ] Submit a pull request and ping the Forem Core (in Slack) for a review.
