Update TPM Handbook Pages

Why is this change being made?

We are updating the TPM handbook page to add clarity about our role, how best to engage with us, and ensure that everyone has visibility into our mission, vision, and near-term goals. We believe this transparency will help us work effectively as a skills-based team that is resourced out to help other teams within GitLab.

There are a number of changes included in this MR:

• Moving the general TPM team page out from the job families hierarchy and into the product handbook hierarchy
• Adding / editing content on the general TPM team page to reflect the current workings of the team
• Renaming the two TPM related job family pages
• Updating the two TPM related job family pages to include the updated mission / vision and revised interview processes
• Misc. formatting changes for more handbook consistency

Pipeline Failure - Linting Errors

One of the linters has reported errors and as a result the pipeline has failed. Once the pipeline completes, you'll find the code quality report above which can link you to where the error is in your code. Additionally, below you'll find a table of the errors. The table has links to the lint rules so you can find more information on how to fix the issue(s).

Rule	File	Line	Error
handbook.AbsoluteLinkPrefixContent	content/handbook/product/_index.md	16	This link uses a file system path instead of the web path. Drop 'content' so the link start with '/handbook/'.
handbook.AbsoluteLinkPrefixContent	content/job-families/product/technical-program-manager-leadership.md	6	This link uses a file system path instead of the web path. Drop 'content' so the link start with '/handbook/'.

If you are renaming, moving, or deleting pages, please check the Code Quality report, or the hugolint job's artifact files, to see if there are any related broken links.

If you need more help please reach out on Slack in #mr-buddies.
