Ticket: https://trello.com/c/lXpy2vZH/142-3-change-footer-to-use-two-column-layout-in-digitalmarketplace-frontend-toolkit-and-all-frontend-apps

We want our footer to look more like the footer from GOV.UK and GOV.UK Deisgn System, so we can swap the components on an app by app basis in the future. We also wanted to simplify the content in the footer, and reduce the number of columns.

This PR changes the layout of our existing footer so to achieve these aims. The changes made were put together by @NoraGDS and @aliuk2012; there's more details on the ticket above.

Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to preview the changes as adding a footer page to the frontend toolkit preview app didn't work very well, but I will attach some screenshots below.

Change the footer to simplify the content and reduce the amount of
empty space. Changes are based on designs by @NoraGDS and @aliuk2012.

This commit moves the text "Built by GDS" to a separate line, similar to
how it is styled in alphagov/digitalmarketplace-govuk-frontend.

Looks awesome. Guessing this is a major version bump/changelog situation?
