 Really not an expert about widgets, and not sure if this is the expected
 behavior. Noticed while working on #23328.

 This gets evident when setting the Widgets screen in "accessibility mode"
 from the Screen Options tab.

 To reproduce:
 - enable a plugin that provides a widget
 - add the widget from the plugin to a sidebar
 - disable the plugin

 At this point, my Sidebar has 3 widgets (without the one from the disabled
 plugin). But when editing one of the widgets in the sidebar, the select
 that shows the widgets "positions" shows 4 "positions". See screenshot
 below:
