Write honest VIP positioning doc — credible, not fake

Write docs/vip-interview-prep.md. Your honest positioning: "I have not deployed to VIP production. I have: (1) implemented VIP-Go PHPCS with zero violations, (2) applied file system constraints, (3) used object caching patterns matching VIP Memcached setup, (4) self-audited against VIP Code Analysis Bot." Link to code for each claim.
