Title: Status bar refactor and  nicer tool buttons 

This PR refactors some of the UI in the status bar to make things a little clearer.

Changes:
- Project CRS text and button are now merged making it easier to hit
- New icon for log messages with messages text. The old icon was a bit alarming and might make people avoid looking there for messages.

You can see the difference below:

I have always found the small icons hard to see and hit. Users during training seasons have also clicked the label expecting to see a dialog to pick the CRS not knowing it's the small button beside it.
