#65141: Fix alignment for sortable metabox on post and page edit screen with
classic editor

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When the Classic Editor is selected as the default editor in the Writing
 Settings, the sortable metabox container on the post/page edit screen
 includes an extra 4px of padding. This results in a 4px misalignment of
 the metabox container with Classic Editor and other UI elements on the
 page.
 Debugging confirms that this padding is only applied when the Classic
 Editor is active. Since it serves no identifiable purpose other than for
 these metaboxes, it can be safely removed to restore alignment. This
 change was originally introduced in Changeset
