refactor: Use highlight in footer

[VincentSmedinga]

The background colour of Footer.Top can be applied through a blue Highlight.

Maybe not a decision we have to make now: can't we get rid of the Footer component entirely? Footer just renders a HTML footer, Footer.Bottom renders a div, and Footer.Top is a Highlight. Maybe we can just turn this into a recipe or something, instead of a component?

While I agree that the footer for our websites can technically be implemented through composition and configuration, I also think there’s value in having a semantic component that people don’t have to think twice about. Even if it’s not doing that much, having a thing called footer can be reassuring that they use the right thing in the right way.

Additionally, the footer has specific usage guidelines (prescribing what goes in which column) and its documentation is easier found if it’s an independent component.
