Comment (by lessbloat):

 This is shaping up nicely.  Nice work SergeyBiryukov!  A couple things:

 - When you initially click "Show a page instead of your latest posts", the
 second option should be checked by default:

 - Immediately clicking "Show latest posts on a separate page" after "Show
 a page instead of your latest posts" without saving first results in a
 bunch of PHP errors: http://cl.ly/image/053G2h0E2W2L as $pag_for_posts
 isn't set.
 - _dropdown_pages() doesn't appear to do anything with the "selected"
 parameter.
 - In _dropdown_pages() the "selected" equals get_option( 'page_on_front'
 ).  Do we need to do some validation on this to make sure that the page
 that was previously set as get_option( 'page_on_front' ) still exists.
 - Last, we need to duplicate this functionality in the customizer's
 "Static Front Page" section.
