Drop IE9 + IE10 Support

1 Requirements

To reduce the costs for support of old IE version we should drop the support of IE9 + IE10 with ILIAS 5.2

• Combined Global share of IE9 + IE10, Nov 2015 is around 6% (When we dropped IE6 support in Sep 2010, its global share was 7.4%.), see statscounter.com
• Micrsoft-Support for IE9 + IE10 will end 2016-01-12. 

Stopping the support would mean, that developers do not need to test against and fix bugs for IE9/10. However ILIAS institutions that would still rely on IE9/10 support could pay ILIAS service providers to provide IE9/10support for feature they need.
