Summary: Drop TSF support only from WinXP and WinServer 2003.

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1205600

Platforms: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2

Estimated or target release: Gecko 44

Background:

I've already given up to support TSF on WinXP and WinServer 2003 since the TSF on them are much immature and Natural Input which is Japanese IME bundled on WinXP behaves too much complicated but few users were used. Starting Gecko 41, TSF is enabled in default settings only on Vista or later. For enabling TSF on WinXP or WinServer2k3, user needs to change "intl.tsf.force_enable" to true from about:config.

Dropping this feature from WinXP will cause inconvenience to WinXP Tablet users. But I think that such users were already updated their devices to Android Tablet, iPad or newer Windows Tablet. So, it must not be worthwhile to support limited support of TSF on legacy Windows.
