Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:39441.2.diff] is a minor update over the first iteration.

 * adds support for a new `input_class` key in the `$args` array of
 `add_settings_field()`
 * properly fills the `label_for` key with the value of the `input_id` key
 * automatically adds an `id` attribute to the field description and the
 same value to the field's `aria-describedby`
 * implements `render_settings_field_select()` (just another test
 implementation)
 * moves settings field callback switch clause into `add_settings_field()`
 as it should be part of the argument parsing

 The small test plugin `settings-api-tests.php` is no longer available on
 the ticket. It is now available on https://github.com/felixarntz/settings-
 api-tests for collaboration.
