Improved readability for the bottom left status line

The verts/edges/faces are displayed in the bottom left status line, but I've always found them Less-Than-Useful for a number of reasons:

1. They are quite small.
2. They are not justified with the right edge of the modeling area, and are thus conceptually separated from their subject (layout matters), and in a visually 'busy' area of the screen.

--and something I just perceived and I think really contributes to their unreadability-- 3) They jump around. If there's an alert they jump to the left and the alert squeezes into the right end. (And then the alert fades away before I notice/can read it.)

There are addons that will put the same info in the vuport, so that's a bit of a solved problem. But if Blender.org wanted to fix this, I wouldn't complain.
