What does this change?

Adds a call to check the autoplay status of the native apps. To access the isAutoplayEnabled method, bridget has also been bumped to the latest version

NB - This is currently blocked from merge until the native apps have released their relevant changes to production.

Why?

So that self hosted videos in articles respect in-app accessibility settings.
