Table footer no longer fixed with when scrollable

[monsieur-ricky]

Describe the bug

While migrating my app from PrimeNG v17 to version 19, I noticed that the table component is no longer working as expected.
The main issue that I'm reporting is the footer is no longer fixed when the table is scrollable. This issue can be tested in the official documents:

This is quite annoying because the table footer has relevant summary information that now requires the user to do a long scroll to the bottom of the table to view that information.

I have this same issue in v18. As a workaround, I added this to my component css

:host ::ng-deep .p-datatable.p-datatable-sm .p-datatable-tfoot {
position:sticky;
}

Yes, I've also did a temporary fix using CSS. Hopefully this will be fixed in 19.0.3.
