Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add custom text at the bottom (footer) - contact a
 maintainer (#3826)

Closes https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3714

* Add footer banner message support

* Little me forgot to change the elements on both sides

* Found a way to make the footer accessible while also being cute

* Thank you @realcharmer for the suggested changes
