 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 admin/includes/template.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 `$parent` parameter to `$parent_page` in
 `parent_dropdown()`.
