status: add a config knob for setting default of --terse

I want --terse=u basically 100% of the time, but there's not a good
way to do that before this patch.

I'm very unhappy with how the default value for --terse looks rigt
now, but it does *work*. The alternative would be to define an
"optional string" flag type using fancyopts.customopt and then use
that, leaving the default as None. Does anyone have a strong
preference for that, or a better idea?
