Subject: [PATCH] Remove the Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Phone 8
workaround (#23122)
I suggest that there's no longer a need to include the section on workaround for the IE10 bug on Windows Phone 8. Not only was this bug patched in a later release of Windows Phone 8 (which shipped in 2013), but Windows Phone 8's support ended a long time ago - even its successor Windows Phone 8.1 is no longer supported by Microsoft. The potential audience affected by this bug is likely microscopic so I suggest it can be safely removed.
I suggest the workaround JS (http://getbootstrap.com/assets/js/ie10-viewport-bug-workaround.js) can also be safely removed from the docs and examples but I haven't done that in this PR.

**If you require IE8-9 support, use Bootstrap 3.** It's the most stable version of our code and is still supported by our team for critical bugfixes and documentation changes. However, no new features will be added to it.

-Internet Explorer 10 in Windows Phone 8 versions older than [Update 3 (a.k.a. GDR3)](https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2013/10/14/introducing-windows-phone-preview-for-developers/) doesn't differentiate **device width** from **viewport width** in `@-ms-viewport` at-rules, and thus doesn't properly apply the media queries in Bootstrap's CSS. To address this, you'll need to **include the following JavaScript to work around the bug**.
