Description
- I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
- I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.
Please give us a description of what happened.
When adding shortcodes to a category description, they are parsed in the admin categories list. This causes a usability nightmare when basic shortcodes like [gallery] are used. See this example:

IMO, this has nothing to do with SEO or analysis and shouldn't happen. I can understand running do_shortcode on the frontend for term/category descriptions since WPSEO is adding WYSIWYG editor to descriptions, so users are more inclined to include shortcodes.
The filter in question is https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/blob/master/admin/taxonomy/class-taxonomy.php#L40
Please describe what you expected to happen and why.
I expect the raw shortcode to display in the description, just like it does before WPSEO is installed.
How can we reproduce this behavior?
- Create/edit a post category
- Add a gallery shortcode
- View the admin category list via Dashboard, Posts > Categories and see the shortcode in its parsed form.
