[keycloak-dev] Avoid older user agents?

For SSO login, we should support as old as possible (no javascript, 
backward compatible to HTML 4? 3? 2? I don't know you tell me....).

For admin UI, we can be more restrictive, IMO.  The admin UI, is not 
just a UI though.  It is a set of REST services that can be called from 
javascript (or whatever langage/platform you want).  For security 
reasons we might want to restrict the types of browsers that can make 
these REST requests.
