Disable toolbar click animation in MD

Reported by woxxom@gmail.com, Aug 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2824.2 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md to default on Dev/Canary
2. Click any button in the top toolbar or a checkbox on the MD history page, etc.

What is the expected behavior?
Hover effect on mouseover, depressed button effect on mouse-down, the corresponding action is performed on mouse-up, no fireworks, no pew-pew shots, no splashes, no trumpets in the background, no extra animations.

What went wrong?
A distracting and wacky animation is displayed.

Did this work before? Yes Before MD started to infest the browser.

Chrome version: 54.0.2824.2  Channel: dev
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

"Material" animations, if used, should create an impression of something real, like a paper card sliding effect, or layer elevation, etc. However the animation used in this iteration of MD doesn't provide any reality to mouse clicks. On the contrary, it's nonrealistic and meaningless, unlike the classic normal-hover-pressed-normal button states used in UI for the last 20 years or so.

I vote for fast removing/making-disableable new annoying click-animations (really considering  browser change because of them), maybe they could have any meaning in touch environment (really?), but not for mouse one

Looking at the proud presentation of MD-redesign  https://medium.com/@KounterB/redesigning-chrome-desktop-769aeb5ab987 it seems unlikely that the wacky animation will be disabled. Apparently, the designer strongly believes it's not irritating and ugly, but reasonable and fitting. O tempora o mores...
