Footer as Page-footer, not as content footer

[FlorianReimold]

I am using the books theme for our Eclipse eCAL Documentation (great theme btw 😊):
https://eclipse-ecal.github.io/ecal/

The single thing I really don't like however is, that the footer is included in the article content frame and not as a general page-footer. I feel like this distracts from the content of my page, as now the footer feels like being part of the article-content:

My quesiton now is: How do I change that back? The original pydata theme only populates the side-wide footer by default and I would like to bring that back.

I am using:

• Python 3.8 - 3.10
• Sphinx 4.5
• Sphinx book theme 0.3.3

I think that doing this will require a little upstream change in the pydata theme, and then we can re-expose that configuration in the book theme as well. I'll see if I can get a quick PR in before the next release.

Oh yea, that would be amazing, thank you very much in advance!
