Subject: [PATCH] feat(ui): add footer support to panels

Add footer_height method to PanelContent trait with default 0. Implement
footer_height in FormulaContent to return 1 when in FormulaEdit mode.
Update Panel::render to subtract footer height from item height. This
enables optional footers in panels.
