Prepare for WPVIP: wrap restricted functions

[moorscode]

On WordPress VIP some functions are restricted, there are prefixed alternatives which can be used and should provide comparable functionality.

The alternative functions are prefixed with: wpvip_com_.

Functions to wrap:

• url_to_postid
• wp_remote_get
• file_get_contents

If provided with a PR, would these be considered for inclusion in a future release? I would very much like to speed up url_to_postid at the least.

Hi @MikeNGarrett

We very much love a PR, it will definitely speed up this being included in an upcoming release.
We try to evaluate community patches every Wednesday and do code-review and acceptance testing on them.

When they are accepted they will be included in the next release.

As our release schedule is based on a two-week cycle, in general the PR should be released within that timeframe.
