This is more robust to changes of semantics in the GOV.UK Footer component, like the one introduced by GOV.UK Frontend v6.0.0.

This plugin is not compatible with the version of GOV.UK Frontend installed by default when creating new prototypes, which makes the test fail not because their actions fail, but because they can't be set up as intended. The amount of work to untangle this is non-trivial and the features were working manually. Co-authored-by: Oliver Byford <oliver.byford@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk>

Because the Prototype Kit installs the latest version of GOV.UK Frontend, tests now run against GOV.UK Frontend v6.0.0.
Some test expectations look at the colours in the built CSS and other compile the step-by-step plugin, which uses the
$legacyparameter ofgovuk-colour.I pushed two commits that fix the selector for grabbing items in the GOV.UK Footer, as well as the selector for changing the header's colour.
Tests remain failing until a new version of the step-by-step plugin is released, as the plugin uses the
$legacyparameter.
