 If a gallery contains not enough images to fill up all columns, in some
 cases the layout looks wrong. In the last row, the images are spaced
 evenly over the row, but the alignment is off.

 The problem, as far as I can see, is that there aren't enough gallery-item
 flex boxes to ensure the layout matches the layout of a full row.
 I simple fix (although I am altogether not sure if this is the right way
 to go) is to end the row with just as many empty gallery items as needed
 to fill up the row. The attached patch does this, and seems to fix the
 problem.

 I would also be fine if the three images were spaced evenly over the row,
 but then the left and right alignment should be the same. I don't know how
 that could be achieved.

 This is with the neve theme. I don't have a reproduction with the default
 theme, sorry.
