Peertube doesn't federate Update when video reach is changed from "Unlisted" to "Public" #7420

Description

@Nicthurne

Describe the current behavior

If a video has been set to "unlisted" and instances in the fediverse know about this video, they will respect the setting. However, if this video then gets set to "public" afterwards, these instances do not receive an update and therefore still believe that the video is "unlisted".
See this Mastodon conversation.
This is not ideal, as it is not intuitive to Peertube users. Ideally, an update activity should be federated to let instances know that the visibility has been updated.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Publish a video, initially set to public or unlisted, and wait for a remote fediverse instance to fetch it
  2. Set the video to "unlisted"
  3. Set the video to "public"

Describe the expected behavior

Expected would be for remote instances to know that the video has been changed from "unlisted" to "public", and therefore show it to everyone.
