x/website: insufficient spacing before footer #33638

Description

@cespare

The new website's footer could use extra spacing (and/or a visual separator such as a line or a different background color) to differentiate it from the body.

Right now the spacing depends on the preceding element, so it varies from page to page.

For these two pages, the spacing isn't too bad, but I think it's not enough: the footer looks like part of the page content rather than something different.

On this page, the spacing is more clearly insufficient and the footer crowds into the preceding text:

I'm using Chrome 76.0.3809.100 on Linux but it looks roughly the same in Firefox and on an Android phone (if I request desktop site). I don't think this is a browser-specific issue.
