Internet Explorer meta tag

Bootstrap defines the following meta-tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
It is used to prevent Internet Explorer from using the compatibility mode
(which is the default setting on intranet sites). As before, this meta
tag
is not valid. It is interresting to notice that
even the bootstrap site
is
not valid, because of that.
In my opinion, we need this meta-tag and we should ignore this HTML5
violation.
There is another option, which is to send this in a HTTP header instead.
From my memories, it does not always work. Actually, I
can remember that I
had to have both the HTML meta and the HTTP header to make it
actually work
on a project. Need to be tested.
Since we can set headers from within the XWiki
application and don't
depend on .htaccess configurations, that's easy to do.
We could even set it in exactly the same place where the meta element is
currently generated (htmlheader.vm), to ensure that the exact same pages
are affected.
Or we could add it in a common place where all rendering takes place,
for example Utils.parseTemplate, which ensures that the header will be
present in custom skins, or when the htmlheader.vm is not being used.
