Including Older Version of jQuery for IE7/IE8

Currently (WP 4.6) WordPress includes jquery 1.12.4, so as @toscho notes there are no compatibility issues with older IE browsers.

However, it was recently announced that 1.12.4 will be the last jquery version of that branch. Sooner or later WP will have to move to jquery 3.0 branch, in which all support for IE 6-8 will have been dropped.
