[Physics2D] Physics2D.BoxCast less precise than Physics2D.Raycast

Physics2D

-

To reproduce:
- Open the attached project and the scene
- The test scene in the attached project features a cube that's performing both a boxcast and a raycast towards the ground. Both casts are performed in the same direction with the same distance.
- Observe that the values returned in their respective RaycastHit2D objects, however, are noticeably different.

The RaycastHit2D object returned from the raycast is 100% precise. The hit returned from the boxcast, however, is not. Notice that the hit point from the boxcast has a Y value of -1.9975 when it should be exactly 2.0. The distance and fraction values returned from the boxcast aren't useful at all because boxcast doesn't expose the origin point of the ray that returned the hit. In contrast, the distance and fraction values from the raycast hit are 100% accurate.
