 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 admin/includes/meta-boxes.php`.

 While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in
 the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this
 will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use
 reserved keywords as function parameter names.

 This commit:
 * Renames the `$class` parameter to `$xfn_relationship` in `xfn_check()`.
 * Renames the `$value` parameter to `$xfn_value` for clarity.
 * Includes minor code layout changes for better readability.
