magnifying glass pointer needs to be updated to Material Design

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, May 13 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
when you hover the pointer over certain images, it changes to a magnifying glass, but the magnifying glass pointer Chrome uses looks like it's from the 1980's! It should be updated. screenshot attached and here's a test image http://s1.picswalls.com/wallpapers/2016/06/10/4k-wallpapers_06523439_309.jpg

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0

Marking it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Evan/Sebastien/Alan, has this crossed any of your radars during icon updates?

Not on my radar. FWIW for Aura (ChromeOS) these cursors live in [1]. In case you're wondering (like I did) the _big cursors are used for the a11y feature. We are missing them for 2x, so they look pixelated there (see screenshot).

Originally, this bug appears to be about Windows though. Those cursors live in [2]. If I had to guess, I might surmise that Windows does not or did not allow an alpha channel, which explains the lack of AA.

I suspect the decision for what to do here would be platform specific.

When I filed this I forgot to add, Edge and Internet Explorer use a different cursor, see attached screenshot

As for Chrome OS, we can use a cursor with alpha channel and update the cursor.
