Description of your pull request and other information
CNNArticleIE currently matches with URLs but fails to extract video. Update CNNArticleIE to work with the way most CNN video links are embedded, and update the tests to include some of these links. The type of URL for this can just use the default extractor. Also updating the regex to capture a date or text before the /video/ subcategory, as many video links are structured this way. Removing old test that has an old article without available media anymore.
Also, removing the CNNBlogsIE Extractor as the CNN Blogs website is now defunct and none of the old links are active anymore.
Fixes #9719
