refactor the status widget

Some refactoring for CDE status:

- removed a bunch of hard-coded DOM manipulation
- the status widget moves into the bottom left area of the files view (no longer hovering over the editing area)
- changed to using css animations on an svg image, instead of using an animated gif (this works better with different backgrounds)
- used some flexbox layout stuff from polymer

What does `class="gear"` do?
