lib: drop support for CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE

Browse source 
This bit was used to do Digest authentication like Internet Explorer
before version 7 (released on October 18, 2006). Presumably no one uses
this anymore and since it is hard to use and does broken auth, starting
in 8.21.0 this bit does nothing (except setting the actual Digest bit).

Closes #21486

## CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE
HTTP Digest authentication with an IE flavor. Digest authentication is defined
in RFC 2617 and is a more secure way to do authentication over public networks
than the regular old-fashioned Basic method. The IE flavor means that
libcurl uses a special "quirk" that IE is known to have used before version 7
and that some servers require the client to use.
The IE-specific Digest authentication behavior is no longer supported.
This bit is kept for compatibility and is treated as CURLAUTH_DIGEST.
