908a6de2c7 Balance newspaper columns before a continuous section break (#350) (#353)
When a multi-column section is followed by a section that starts
continuous, the columns on its last page are laid out again with the
shortest common height that still holds the text (a binary search on
the column height over at most 12 passes of that page), filled left to
right, and the next section starts right below the tallest column.
Keep-together, keep-with-next, widow/orphan control and rows that can't
split still apply, so the columns may come out slightly uneven. Pages
with an explicit column break, sections ending with a next-page,
even- or odd-page break, and one-column sections are not balanced.
Unequal column widths work. A continuous section now always starts
below the tallest column on the page, not the last one.
