Fix multi column legends with odd number of items would place

more items in rightmost columns instead of leftmost columns

Eg a 2 column legend with 3 items would put 1 item in
the first column and 2 in the second. This was ugly, and now
it places 2 in the first column and 1 in the second.

The legend column assigner was incorrectly adding padding above
the first item in a column during column size calculation
(padding which is not present when actually rendering the column)
