Somehow craft IE/Edge SSE support

[Andrew Gree]

EventSource is not supported by MS currently, but there are still some users of IE out there so would be nice to have them too;

see this solution:

There is a pretty popular polyfill for this:

One of the benefits of using ES. If we used Websockets I think we'd have to
use Flash for fallback..

Added support for IE.

Need more testing though as it seems to be unstable throughout different IE installations/windows versions even for IE11 version. Would be nice to test in in Edge too.
