remove X-UA-Compatible meta tag (#857)
This meta tag allows Internet Explorer 7 through 11 to change which document mode they would use. As of 2013, however, [Microsoft Edge would ignore this value except under strict circumstances](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/ie/living-on-the-edge-our-next-step-in-helping-the-web-just-work). This meta tag is ignored in modern versions of Edge (Chromium based).

[Internet Explorer 11 reached EOL in June 2022](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/06/15/internet-explorer-11-has-retired-and-is-officially-out-of-support-what-you-need-to-know/) and today makes up an exceedingly small proportion of internet traffic.

It's unlikely that anyone is browsing on Internet Explorer, and less
likely that they're browsing on IE<11, which makes this tag redundant.
