Ability to hide the status bar

[ghost]

Please add the ability to permanently hide the status bar in the view menu.

Please not that the project has a "no feature requests" policy. More details in the README.

A similar feature is available in the preferences dialog.

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this, wants the same, and feel like writing their first plugin. This would be as easy as:

shell = GObject.property(type=Liferea.Shell)
shell.lookup("statusbar").hide()

.show() on unload. Adding an entry to the View menu is a little bit more work but still quite easy.

@whizse Thanks for the hint!

BTW the plugin tutorial has instructions on extending the menu https://lzone.de/liferea/blog/Writing+Liferea+Plugins+Tutorial+Part+3
