Remove X-UA-Compatible from starter template as it is deprecated in IE11.

With dropping of IE9,
I think there is no need now for the below code so please remove this from starter template
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">

Here are the important quotes to consider from this comment
Depending upon what Microsoft browsers you support you may not need to continue using the X-UA-Compatible tag. If you need to support IE 9 or IE 8, then I would recommend using the tag. If you only support the latest browsers (IE 11 and/or Edge) then I would consider dropping this tag altogether.
IE 10 will default to edge mode regardless of this directive if used with a HTML5 doctype, except in certain circumstances (intranet sites). I suspect that we left most of the enviroments where such circumstances exist behind when we dropped IE9. In IE11, "document modes are deprecated and should no longer be used".
Yup @bardiharborow . This might be a bold move for some but this should be taken as we should remove any crutches behind which are of no use for the new, modern and flexibile web !!!
