Incorrect behavior of "cursor: auto" over links

Reported by friv...@gmail.com, Jun 28 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Open either of the following CSSWG tests:
https://test.csswg.org/harness/test/css-ui-3_dev/single/cursor-auto-002/format/html5/
https://test.csswg.org/harness/test/css-ui-3_dev/single/cursor-auto-003/format/html5/

What is the expected behavior?
The tests should pass

What went wrong?
the test fail

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
Flash Version: 

The "auto" behavior of the "cursor" property used to be only vaguely defined, but to improve interoperability, the latest specification[1] is more clear:

> auto behaves as 'text' over text, and 'default' otherwise.

Other expected effects, such as the pointer cursor overlinks should be achieved using the UA stylesheet, rather than through the magic behavior of the "auto" value.

Chrome uses "auto" rather than the UA stylesheet to adjust the cursor, which causes the test mentioned above to fail.

This is related to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=737452, but this is about links, and that is about form controls.
