Comment (by johnbillion):

 [attachment:38734.diff] is an MVP (minimum viable patch) which does the
 following for the General Settings screen:

 * Registers all of the settings.
 * Registers fields for each of the existing settings table rows.
 * Migrates all the hardcoded fields into settings fields.

 TODO: Replace all the new procedural functions with a nice class per
 settings screen (eg. `WP_Settings_General`) with a method for each field
 and setting.
