[mm]: Fix Savannah #67875 (1/2).
* contrib/mm/m.tmac: Put a two-vee margin between the footnote area and
page footers. New register `ft*margin-below` stores this measurement,
which initalizes to zero because a page does not always bear
footnotes.
(hd@set-page): Compute `pg*foot-trap` using it, and report this
computation at appropriate debugging level.
(FE): Set `ft*margin-below` to 2v.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67875>.
However this change is insufficient, as there's no mechanism for
reducing this `ft*margin-below` back to zero on a subsequent page that
lacks footnotes. See next commit.

[mm]: Improve page bottom layout.
...and revise page layout computations.
* contrib/mm/m.tmac: Add new register `pg*below-text-gap` to track the
size of the gap we want below the text area regardless of any other
material that follows (footnotes, bottom blocks, secondary footers, or
primary footers). Initialize it to `1v` (stealing this amount from
`ft*margin-below` when it is nonzero).
(hd@set-page): Compute `pg*foot-trap` using it, and report this
computation at appropriate debugging level.
(FE): Reduce `ft*margin-below` to 1v.
(ft@check-old): When a footnote is _not_ still pending after a page
break, set `ft*margin-below` back to zero and update trap locations.
(pg@header): Revise computation to include `pg*below-text-gap`. If a
page is insufficiently long, report how much the package needs.
* tests/short-pages-do-not-overflow-stack.sh: Update test expectations.
