Message:

Code Modernization: Fix parameter name mismatches for parent/child classes in WP_Sitemaps_Provider::get_max_num_pages().

In each child class, renames the parameter to match the parent's method signature.
Why? PHP 8 introduces the ability to pass named arguments to function/method calls. This means the child and parent method signatures (i.e. parameter names) need to match.

Adds @since to clearly specify why the change happened.

Reassigns the generic parameter to the original parameter.
Why? Restoring the original name keeps the context intact within the method and makes the code more readable. An inline comment explains why this reassignment is made.

Note: Reassignment is done after the guard clause.
Why? To avoid unnecessary processing and memory should the method bail out.

Follow-up to [48072].
