[Meta] Footer complete refactor

[TheFrenchGhosty]

The Invidious footer needs to be redone almost completely.

• [ ] https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/2022 needs to be fixed
• [ ] https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/672 needs to be done, footer font color should be white in dark mode
• [ ] It needs to be reordered properly
• [ ] It needs to be translatable
• [ ] It shouldn't mention omarroth
• [ ] It must link to the AGPL text on the GNU website
• [ ] It should link to invidious.io
• [ ] It should link to https://github.com/iv-org
• [ ] The privacy policy page must be entirely deprecated/removed, and it should just link to url.ext/privacy (that admins are supposed to override in their reverse proxy, in the same way I do for my Bibliogram instance)
• [ ] An about page must be created, in this about page should be contained the admin Github profile and a way to contact them (preferably email)
• [ ] Donations option must be moved to invidious.io/donate (it needs to be created https://github.com/iv-org/invidious.io ) so that there's a trusted place to get them (other than the Github readme)
• More?

Super quick and dirty draft (it's missing the link to an about page / to the AGPL text on the GNU website):

What do you think of having the ability to add a "contact the maintainer" button like on Searx at the bottom of the page?

@unixfox In the about page, as I said before, should be a lot better.

Why in a different page? It's much easier to have one button directly accessible.

To not clutter too much the footer. There are already a lof of things in here, and this is more confusing than helping

Yeah exactly, the footer should be as "simple" as possible.

Whew finally found some time to work on this.

Due to the massive amounts of items Invidious needs within the footer I don't think the current bar-like design would work very well. It looks too cramped. Instead I propose a footer block:

Of course this also means that the footer would be hidden from view unless scrolled to. I do think that's a worthy trade off though.

If we must preserve the current footer design then I think we should at least remove as much as possible. Something along the lines of this:

@syeopite The block is great.
