Registers `NS_VERSIONCONTROL` (3016) and `NS_VERSIONCONTROL_TALK` (3017) with the alias `VC` and enables subpages and Semantic MediaWiki links.

### Summary
Discussed with Justin and re in #ramp (#m-b82da1e2-c511-4131-bfb2-8ec4afd14ca6):
Instead of ad-hoc regex carve-outs inside `Cryptograss:`, machine-mirrored repository artifacts (PRs, issues, deploy records) belong in their own dedicated namespace.

1. Defines `NS_VERSIONCONTROL` (3016) and `NS_VERSIONCONTROL_TALK` (3017).
2. Maps `VC` and `VC_talk` aliases for clean linking (`[[VC:magenta/295]]`).
3. Enables subpages (`$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_VERSIONCONTROL] = true`).
4. Makes searchable by default.
5. Enables SMW annotations (`$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks[NS_VERSIONCONTROL] = true`) so PR properties (`Worked on by`, `Mood`, `Deploy`, `PR number`) are queryable via `#ask`.
