 Eliminate use of `extract()` in `post_tags_meta_box()` and
 `post_categories_meta_box()`.

 Both functions only need to read `taxonomy`, yet they extract every
 available variable from `$box['args']`. Even if those variables were
 useful, there is no attempt to pass them to anything, and scope in PHP
 does not allow them to be scooped up by inner functions without being
 passed directly.

 See #22400.
