(A11y severity 4) Make footer accessible (e.g. on infinite scroll pages)

[sathomas]

HTML5 <footer> is used to identify the footer area, but some browsers still don’t fully support screen reader navigation to this element. Until these landmarks are better supported, add an ARIA role of "contentinfo" to the element (e.g., <footer role="contentinfo">). This would ensure that the screen reader users, regardless of browser, have a mechanism to navigate past the infinite scroll to the footer area

Hi @riktimmondal, @dmcfaddengalway asked to have a try on this; you could contact him and ask if you could work on it together if you'd like, or have a look at the other first-timers-only issues we have (like #3947 or #4141).

@riktimmondal go ahead, sorry got caught up in other work
