What

Remove any IE8 specific styles, as we're dropping support for IE in a future breaking release.

Why

We have decided to reduce support for IE11 in GOV.UK Frontend and drop support completely for IE8-10. We shared these proposed changes with the frontend community in GDS and across government, and have only received positive feedback.

We will make these changes in a future breaking release of GOV.UK Frontend (likely v5.0.0).

We've decided to handle the docs changes after all of the IE removals have taken place, rather than doing them piecemeal, so I'm closing this as done.

For refrerence, the documentation updates are tracked by: alphagov/govuk-frontend-docs#188 😊
