Lambda VPC Networking

Attaching a function to a VPC routes its traffic through Hyperplane ENIs shared across environments (created once per subnet/security-group combination, not per invoke, so the old per-invoke ENI cold-start penalty is gone). The tradeoff that remains: a VPC-attached function loses direct internet access and needs a NAT gateway or VPC endpoints to reach AWS APIs.
