I think it would be nice to display them as radio buttons. But, this
menus in Custom are displayed with `widget-choose', and `widget-choose'
doesn't support menus in the so-called extended menu format.
So I took a look to see if that would be easy to do. I attach a patch for review.
If the feature is accepted, then it shouldn't be too hard to change
Custom to pass a menu with radio-buttons for these options.

Perhaps "Customize Face For Current Display" and "Customize Face For All
Kinds of Display" is better? Kinda long, though.
Anyway, I attach a patch to add support for extended menus in
widget-choose, as a first step to add radio buttons for related options
in these Custom menus.
