grilling: reword the primitive for general use

Browse Source 
Drop the software-plan scoping from grilling's description and body so the
interview reads as a stress-test of any plan, decision, or idea:
"this plan" → "this", "enact the plan" → "act on it", "codebase" →
"environment". The technique is unchanged, and grill-me is left as-is.

"mattpocock-skills": patch
---
Reword **`grilling`** for general use. Its description and body no longer scope the interview to a software plan: "this plan" → "this", "enact the plan" → "act on it", and "exploring the codebase" → "exploring the environment". The technique is unchanged; it now reads as a stress-test of any plan, decision, or idea.

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.
If a *fact* can be found by exploring the codebase, look it up rather than asking me. The *decisions*, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.
