Comment (by pento):

 [attachment:37974.8.diff] adds the front page to the sortable list. There
 are some things that need polishing, but it's enough for testing.

 Issues I'm aware of:

 * The "Front Page Sections" list needs to refresh when the Front Page
 dropdown changes.
 * The new behaviour in `WP_Query` should be hidden behind a query arg.
 * I haven't tested yet, but I suspect `get_post( get_option(
 'page_on_front' ) )` may have some funky behaviour.
 * There's probably some insane behaviour if someone runs `wp_delete_post(
 get_option( 'page_on_front' ), true )`.
 * This needs so many unit tests. I'd like to wrap up the `WP_Query`
 changes fairly soon, so we can get piles of tests written.

 My Customizer code is... okay. Please review and rewrite as necessary. :-)
