 use $_POST to get the data that was submitted. Unfortunately, this breaks
 if a plugin uses anything that calls wp_insert_post() in the same request.

 If a plugin tries to add a post manually (by passing in a data array), all
 data will be taken from this for `wp_insert_post`. However, these metabox
 callbacks will instead get the data from `$_POST`, and hence, the wrong
 data will be added.

 This patch enables the metaboxes to use the data that is passed in. For a
 POST request, this is the `$_POST` data. For a manual insert by a plugin,
 it will be the data that is passed in.
