VERBOSE_STATUS is a compile-time constant that has been fixed to 1
for as long as git history reaches. Turning it off requires editing
the source and yields entry files that only ever report
"enabled"/"disabled", a format nothing has ever seen in the wild.
Remove the pretend knob and the dead branch it guards.
