Footer tending guides' links outline is touching the text

[Sboonny]

Edit: the issue has been changed in freeCodeCamp, I have transferred it here to start changing news here as well.

Describe the bug
While navigating the footer using the keyboard, the outline is touching the text, which doesn't look visually clean.

rec-tab.12.webm

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://www.freecodecamp.org/
2. Click on tab until you reach the footer
3. See outline

Expected behavior
the outline shouldn't touch the text

Additional context
the outline is touching the text because of this property

 .footer-col a {
    padding: 5px 0;
}

we can remove the 0 or add offset to the outline in the footer if it's a link. yes it's affect the tax link

If I had to choose, I think the padding needs to be fixed instead of messing with the outline offset.

Also, I think these links need to be fixed so that their hover area doesn't extend past their text. This is especially noticeable in mobile view. The links are lined up in a single column on the left but you can move your mouse almost all the way to the right side of the window and still click the link. This can be especially annoying for touch users.

@bbsmooth are you working on this issue ?

Just a heads up, what ever we do here needs to also take place in /news and /forum since they share an identical footer style.
