Help and feedback footer updates

Sarah German requested to merge help-feedback-footer into main

What does this MR do and why?

Closes #1325 (closed)

  • Pushes the footer to the bottom of the page when content is short (it feels too close to the content on very short pages like this)
  • Defaults the panel to closed
  • Removes the extra underline on links
  • Removes help & feedback from the right-side navigation (table of contents component)

Screenshots, screen recordings, or links to review app

How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

  1. Configure a local GitLab Docs environment: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/main/doc/setup.md.
  2. Visit an interior page and look for:
  • Help & Feedback panel is closed but can be opened on click
  • Help & Feedback is no longer included in the table of contents
  • Help & Feedback appears at the bottom of your screen, even on short pages like this
