Message:

Add status message area, add basic help text that gives info about what mouse buttons in the current context.
TODO: Add messages for button combos somehow (e.g. middle+right = delete) - this may pose a problem as my current method of displaying help text doesn't have room for text about button combos, so will need to rethink how to display the text.
