`wp_create_nonce()` should not have a default parameter

Description

If wp_create_nonce() is called multiple times, it will produce the same nonce, since wp_create_nonce's $action defaults to -1.

This might be against the developer's expectation "I called this twice, should get a different nonce", so it might be interpreted as a security trap in a way.

wp> wp_create_nonce()
=> string(10) "6f11a1efea"
wp> wp_create_nonce()
=> string(10) "6f11a1efea"

This is a minor issue/devex improvement, just being more explicit about the nonce's action.
