Bug Description

Immediately after you first bootstrap, if you run juju status, you are presented with this wall of text:

$ juju status
MODEL CONTROLLER CLOUD VERSION
default azure azure 2.0-beta10.1

APP STATUS EXPOSED ORIGIN CHARM REV OS

UNIT WORKLOAD AGENT MACHINE PORTS PUBLIC-ADDRESS MESSAGE

MACHINE STATE DNS INS-ID SERIES AZ

$

From a first use perspective, this is really confusing. It's 2 lines of useful information and then 20 words without any context.

IMO, we should elide the column headers for sections that are empty, maybe with [this page intentionally left blank] placeholders.

$ juju status
MODEL CONTROLLER CLOUD VERSION
default azure azure 2.0-beta10.1

[no applications]
[no machines]
$
---- or ----

$ juju status
MODEL CONTROLLER CLOUD VERSION
default azure azure 2.0-beta10.1

This model is empty. Use `juju deploy` to deploy applications to this model. See `juju help deploy` for more details.

This PR (against 2.3) no longer displays empty sections and will let the user know that the model is empty: https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/8727
