FT for ACTIVE_X_OBJECT may be faulty on old Opera versions

#47

Opera versions from 7.5 up to 8.5 or more may report a fake implementation of ActiveXObject on the global window.

Not a big deal in recent browsers just a point to look when things break on older Opera engines.

To correctly isolate browser having a working ActiveX implementation there is no better way than to exclude Opera for which we know there is only a "fake" implementation of ActiveX in very old versions and maybe on mobiles too.

Very old thread I found talking about this here:

Don't have the Opera version number where they removed this annoying stuff.

    This should not be a problem because in both use cases for fuse.env.test('ACTIVE_X_OBJECT') we attempt to create the ActiveX object.
