 At the moment, `nonce_life`
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/nonce_life/] filter pass
 to callbacks only the nonce lifespan to be filtered.

 There are cases in which a shorter nonce lifespan might be useful (default
 lifespan is one day), and would be handy being able to recognize the
 ''context'' for the nonce creation.

 It means that `wp_nonce_tick()`
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nonce_tick/]
 should receive the action as argument.

 Providing a default (probably `-1` that is the default none action) this
 change will be 100% backward compatible.

 Currently the only (hackish) way to filter the lifespan only for specific
 nonces is to add a filter before to call both `wp_create_nonce` and
 `wp_verify_nonce` and remove the filter right after that. Two filter
 additions and two filter removals that may be replaced with a single
 filter addition if context would be provided by the `nonce_life` hook.
