Add a select-option to the default widgets

The default widgets do not offer any hooks for that. You have to replace the default widget and add your field to the new class.

The other option would be using JavaScript to insert the field, and a filter for 'update_option_widget_' . $widget->id_base to save the value.

I think the separate class is the cleaner approach.
