changing text size doesn't change system text

Reported by jsarr...@gmail.com, Sep 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9460.73.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.134 Safari/537.36
Platform: 9460.73.0 (Official Build) stable-channel panther

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. login to ChromeOS (as administrator or normal user)
2. go to setting menu
3. under appearance, change Font Size to something other than Medium

What is the expected behavior?
System menus (e.g. apps) and titlebars will increase (or decrease) size.

What went wrong?
System menus (e.g. apps) and tab names remain the same size.  on high-DPI displays this may make them difficult to read from far away.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.134  Channel: stable
OS Version: 9460.73.0

Changing the display resolution is a stupid and wrong solution.  Doing so means that font anti-aliasing is totally ruined and makes many images look bad.  The text size setting should be global, not just for Rendered HTML.  Maybe a better solution is to allow the user to specify the desired DPI of the fonts or system, so that graphics can be properly scaled accordingly.

We are making some changes to resolution settings which will help alleviate this pain point. Targeting M65.
