Well, some constant is needed for everything to be able to ask for the
setting font, and FONT_UI is annoyingly everywhere already.

There is really no difference, global_status was a convenient place to
put it, putting it in the screen_access struct *might* mean it will be
in the cache when accessed, perhaps. This is very hair-splitting,
though if whoever gets to commiting wants to do that I have no
objection.
