Title: revert 53d6d08 socket.io also for IE8

#### proposal to revert #53d6d08

I propose to revert the patch 53d6d08 . I again confirm expressly, that
``` io.set('transports', ['jsonp-polling']);``` method works in all browser including IE8 with or without XMLHTTP support enabled, but it breaks the working if you add further methods to socket.io.

I admit that a better solution needs to be found (which avoids annyoing browser effects like described in https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/1232 and shown in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muoi3PyfkiE ) and will do my very best to reach this goal.

#### until a solution of #1232 is found

Until then I suggest and ask to keep the JSONP-POLLING as only method in socket.io , because it works 100% reliably.

``` io.set('transports', ['jsonp-polling']);```
