Issue 1181 - Change polyfill for IE8 (fix settings page)

html/static/js/ieEventListenerPolyfill.js

-if (typeof window.addEventListener != "function")

I'm not sure why this works in IE8 frankly, window shouldn't have anything from
Element.prototype, and we're explicitly invoking window.addEventListener.

But that's easy to fix, this should do:

if (Window)
{
  Window.prototype.addEventListener = Element.prototype.addEventListener;
  Window.prototype.removeEventListener = Element.prototype.removeEventListener;
}

It actually wasn't working on firstrun page, my bad. I have modified your
suggestion a bit, wouldn't be good to replace addEventListener if it was already
implemented (IE9+).

Also, since there was 2 "load" even handlers, where one was expecting another
one to run first, I have combined them into one.
