Review list spacing

[owenatgov]

What

Evaluate spacing between list items in our list styles.

Why

Whilst working on https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/issues/2862, we noticed that lists appear tightly spaced against the new typography scale. See this comment for a light investigation. From a team discussion, we think there's value in experimenting with list spacing to assess if they should be more spaced out or not. There is a particular concern around:

• Lack of space afforded to bullet and number lists on mobile
• Similarities between list and paragraph spacing
