Nested panels

[awvwgk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to migrate a website to sphinx and sphinx-panels has been incredible helpful so far to create the bootstrap layouts we have previously written directly in HTML/CSS. Now I'm trying to nest columns inside a grid layout as described in the bootstrap documentation here, but without success to far. Nested panels are not described in the sphinx-panels documentation, therefore this seems more like a feature request than an actual bug report to me.

The following myst markdown

````{panels}
:column: col-lg-12

```{panels}
First
---
Second
```

---


```{panels}
Third
---
Forth
```

````

Currently yields separate and ill-formatted columns:

Describe the solution you'd like

Eventually, I want to produce a layout like this, using two columns and cards with headers inside the columns for the individual entries:

Using nested panels seems like the easiest way to make this work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Trying to build the layout myself using the .. div:: directives, but this would be the last resort.
