Show all mouse-related keymap items in the status bar when just
hovering in an area, rather than the current display of mouse
operations that change with keyboard modifiers. Only updates on change
of region.

For example currently when you move your mouse into a 3DView you see this:

The three items above will change to three other items when you press Shift, Ctrl, or Alt.

With this PR the status bar looks like this when hovering in the 3DView in Object Mode:

Timeline:

Outliner:

Hovering over a corner "action zone":

This shows far more more information and options than we see now. And it has a nicer transition between this and operations. I think this removes more code than adds as well.

Here is an example of nicer transitions. In the following you will see that while hovering over an editor edge it shows options including "Resize" for Left Mouse Drag. Start dragging and you then see the different options that apply while dragging. Because the two things show in the status bar with similar formats it seems like a cohesive system.
