 Steps to produce:

 1. Create a new page called "My Home Page". Add some bacon ipsum.
 1. Assign the page as your static home page.
 1. Trash the page, but don't delete it.

 Expected behavior: My homepage reverts to a list of my most recent posts

 Actual behavior: 404 template is loaded.

 In r6337, we started listing most recent posts when the page is
 ''deleted''. However, there's a short circuit (added later) in
 `wp_delete_post()` to `wp_trash_post()`, which doesn't delete the option.
 This results in the homepage not being reset until the post is actually
 deleted.

 I think the trashing behavior should be consistent with deleting behavior.
