New description:

 Currently a user may add new widget instances to widget areas in the
 customizer, and they may remove these widgets to send them to the inactive
 widgets area (aka widget trash). However, there is currently no way to
 restore these inactive widgets to widget areas without leaving the
 customizer and going to the widgets admin page.

 The widget addition panel should be extended to also list out inactive
 widgets.
