CONTRIBUTING.md does not specify minimum browser requirements #433

Hello, I would like to contribute to this project, but I am uncertain as to which browsers must be supported, and which ones may not be. This is not mentioned in CONTRIBUTING.md.

What are the minimum-supported browsers? Can we ignore IE8 support, for instance?

Knowing the target browsers is a big part of choosing which frameworks and language features to use when contributing, so this is worth documenting.

The browsers we actually test on are listed at https://github.com/candy-chat/candy/blob/master/tests/intern.js#L27-L32.

The browsers we claim to support are https://github.com/candy-chat/candy/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L71. My preference is latest versions of Chrome/FF, IE9+ and Safari 6+. I would accept a pull request which makes this clear.
