fix($http): update httpBackend to use ActiveXObject on IE8 if necessary

window.XMLHttpRequest is not always available in IE8 despite it not running in quirks mode,
in which case Angular should be using the ActiveXObject instead. Just checking the browser
version is taking too many shortcuts.

@ngdoc error
@name $httpBackend:noxhr
@fullName Unsupported XHR
@description
This error occurs in browsers that do not support XmlHttpRequest. AngularJS
supports Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE8 and higher, and mobile browsers
(Android, Chrome Mobile, iOS Safari). To avoid this error, use an officially
supported browser.
