Fix spacing in Notification Templates tab (legacy mode)

Add proper top margin to TabContent in legacy mode to match the
spacing pattern used in Notification Policies page.

Changes:
- Import css from @emotion/css and useStyles2
- Import GrafanaTheme2 for theme typing
- Create getStyles function with tabContent margin
- Apply className to TabContent in legacy mode rendering
- Matches the pattern used in NotificationPoliciesPage.tsx

This fixes the visual issue where the "Create notification templates"
text was directly touching the tabs above with no spacing in legacy
navigation mode.

 This field sets the maximum number of spans to return for each span set.
 By default, the maximum value that you can set for the **Span Limit** value (or the spss query) is 100.
 In Tempo configuration, this value is controlled by the `max_spans_per_span_set` parameter and can be modified by your Tempo administrator.
-Grafana Cloud users can contact Grafana Support to request a change.
 Entering a value higher than the default results in an error.
