Videos are a conceptual subset of Articles (see
[VideosController#create][1] for supporting "evidence"). As such, we
want to ensure they conform to the expectations of the ArticlePolicy (as
described in forem/forem#16483).
This feature enhancement does a few things:
1. Renames swaps the `VideoPolicy#new?` and `VideoPolicy#create?`
declarations (reversing the alias direction)
2. Moves methods out of the concrete ArticlesPolicy into the
ApplicationPolicy.
3. Exposes these user oriented methods for external
consumers (e.g. making future refactoring work easier). The happy
benefit is that this already removes a bit of duplicated logic.
4. Highlights that while yes the Policy is correct, we also may be
flirting with the concept of some sort of User "properties as it relates
to authorization" logic (good standing users, established users,
etc.)
5. Reworked the timing of a guard clause and setting of instance variables.

To test this, I'm relying on the existing test suite. I envision that
shifting from returning false for suspended users to raising an
exception might cause some false positive errors. Note, in the
[AppliciationController][2] we handle the responses. Paired with
[config/appliciation.rb][3], we handle the policy exceptions.
