We have a bunch of helper classes (bottom gutter) which are used to
vertically separate components on the page.
This vertical spacing might get ignored if one of these containers
contains floated items. This is because:
> elements that contain floated items don't take those floated items
> into account in calculating their height

GOV.UK Frontend toolkit has a shim to prevent this from happening.
d15e738b92/stylesheets/_shims.scss (L38-L55)
So this commit uses that shim to make the spacing consistent in older
and newer browsers, irrespective of whether floats are being applied.
This hasn’t been a problem because we’re not using a lot of `float` in
Notify. But we are using it now to work around some other
inconsistencies in old browsers.
