The `meta_box_cb` argument was introduced in [25572] to allow plugin
authors to provide a custom callback for rendering their taxonomy's meta
box on the post edit screen. However, the routine used to handle the saving
of these custom taxonomy meta boxes was not customizable, but was instead
based simply on whether the taxonomy was hierarchicaly. See [13535].
The new `meta_box_sanitize_cb` argument defaults to the "tag" routine for
non-hierarchical taxonomies and the "category" routine for hierarchical ones,
thereby maintaining the current default behavior. Developers can override this
when the data passed from their `meta_box_cb` differs.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

This changes the global `$wp_taxonomies` to an array of `WP_Taxonomy ` objects. `WP_Taxonomy ` includes methods to handle rewrite rules and hooks.
Each taxonomy argument becomes a property of `WP_Taxonomy`. Introducing such a class makes further improvements in the future much more feasible.
Props boonebgorges for review.
