Simplify status bar

Nathan Garside requested to merge (removed):feature/simplify-statusbar into master

Apply the statusbar changes proposed in https://phabricator.kde.org/T10891:

  • Remove the "Zoom:" text next to the slider
  • Hide the free space indicator by default (can still be re-enabled in settings)

Benefits:

  • Less visual clutter (especially in narrow/split views)
  • The free space indicator is no longer duplicated from the sidebar
  • Makes the zoom slider more visually prominent

Downsides:

  • The free space indicator in the sidebar is less precise than the one in the statusbar
  • The zoom slider is unlabeled (although IMO its purpose is clear from context)
  • There's no longer a shortcut to access KPartitionManager/FileLight from within Dolphin
