 The front page section placeholders were intended to only be visible when
 the theme options section was expanded, so that the preview is an accurate
 representation of the front end of the site. When the theme options
 section is expanded, the placeholders are shown along with borders on each
 section, to clarify where each option is applied on the site and where
 additional content can be added.

 Currently in trunk, the placeholders are visible when the customizer
 loads, then properly toggle with the theme options section's exxpanded
 state. They should be hidden when the customizer first loads. One could
 argue that the current behavior improves discoverability, but it is more
 likely to cause annoyance when extra section placeholders continue to show
 up after initial theme setup, and starter content reduces the need for
 placeholders showing initially.

 Not milestoning yet as it needs a patch, but this should probably be in
 4.7.
