Comment:

 One more thing: I think the behavior of auto-expanding a panel's only
 section should probably be opt-in. We know that we want it for widgets,
 but for themes and plugins that have their own custom panels, they may
 very well want to be able to show a panel with just one section as the
 custom panel UI may have additional controls at the panel level.

 So there could be a new `WP_Customize_Panel::$auto_expand_sole_section =
 false` param added, which for widgets we'd set it to be `true`.
