Centre the compose row in the strip under the separator

The row had less air beneath it than above: the screen trimmed its bottom
margin to 4, and the row's own 8 did not answer the three column gaps
overhead — one after the separator, one each for the reply banner and the
attachment, which cost a gap apiece whether or not they hold anything.
