UI: Enable writing global area data (top-bar, status-bar) to .blend's

There should not be much user visible here (other than T73668 being addressed).

I added the writing code already for the initial implementation of workspaces,
but we decided to keep it disabled until the top-bar design is more clear. It
was never planned to keep this disabled for so long.

Fixes T73668.
