Subject: [PATCH] refactor(catalog): use Grid.Item colSpan for full-width
 AboutFields

Replace inline `style={{ gridColumn: '1 / -1' }}` with BUI-native
`Grid.Item colSpan` for full-width fields in AboutContent. Extract
grid columns into a shared variable used by both Grid.Root and
Grid.Item to keep them in sync.

Remove the `style` prop from AboutField that was only added to
support the inline gridColumn approach.
