Represents positions within and around a video where ads can be
targeted to.
Example positions could be pre-roll (before the video plays),
post-roll (after a video has
completed playback) and mid-roll
(during video playback).
Empty video position targeting means that all video positions
are allowed. If a bumper line item has empty video position
targeting it will be updated to target all bumper positions.
