 Requests to URLs like:
 - https://wordpress.org/plugins/?order=asc
 - https://wordpress.org/themes/?order=desc
 - https://wordpress.org/showcase/?order=asc&orderby=title
 - https://wordpress.org/news/page/13/?orderby=rating
 - https://jv.wordpress.org/?orderby=menu_order
 - https://lt.wordpress.org/?orderby=rating/page/3/

 ... all return canonical URL tags which incorrectly include `order` and
 `orderby` parameters.

 In all scenarios, these parameters should be excluded from the canonical
 URL tag.
