+feat(v5): add customizable footer action
+
+- New `footerAction` prop renders a custom action in the modal footer,
+  before the Algolia logo, inside `.DocSearch-Footer-Action`
+- `@docsearch/js` supports `footerAction` via template patterns (html helper,
+  JSX, or function-based)
+- Fixes typing differences between `@docsearch/react` and `@docsearch/js`
+- Restyle the footer with a `.DocSearch-Footer-Actions` wrapper
