on HiDPI windows displays, when you right-click on Chrome in the taskbar, the favicons are low res

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Dec 24 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
on a HIDPI windows machine, right-click on Chrome in the taskbar. In the menu that comes up, the favicons are not HIDPI as they are in the rest of Chrome and they look awful

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

I don't know if this is Chrome's fault or if Windows is preventing hidpi icons from being used here but I thought I should report it anyways. Also, Firefox also has this problem

I just thought to check Internet Explorer (Edge doesn't show favicons when you right-click on it) and favicons are hidpi and look great for Internet Explorer so I think that means this is indeed an issue with Chrome

Able to reproduce this issue on Windows-10 HiDPI using chrome latest stable M55-55.0.2883.87 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. Observed the icons are looking blurry while right clicking on the chrome icon from task bar.

This is a non-regression issue seen on chrome earlier version of M35-35.0.2849.0 as well, Hence marking it as untriaged.
Issue 684515 has been merged into this issue.

Fix Jumplist favicons to have high-resolution in HDPI Windows displays

On a HDPI windows machine, if right-click Chrome in the taskbar, the
jumplist favicons are not displayed in high-resolution. They look
blurry, different from other favicons in the rest of Chrome, e.g., tabs.
As reported, Internet Explorer doesn't have this issue.

The root cause is that 1x bitmap (16x16) is always used to create
jumplist icon file by the current jumplist implementation.

This CL fixes this issue. The idea is that for all the display scales
supported by the platform, get/compute all corresponding bitmaps and
write them to the disk. In this way, the appropriate icon bitmap is used
when a user changes the screen display scale.

As verified on Canary, this issue is fixed. The jumplist icons are now in high-resolution for HDPI Windows displays.
