Add support for animated [.ani] custom cursors

Reported by jyx77393...@gmail.com, Jan 7

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use a ".ani" file instead of ".cur".
2. Write a ".css" file include "cursor:" attribute.
3. Open a ".html" page linked this ".css" file.

What is the expected behavior?
When using ".ani" it should show a dynamic mouse cursor instead of default cursor.
When using ".cur" it should show a static mouse cursor instead of default cursor.

What went wrong?
Chromium only support ".cur" file?
If i use ".ani", my mouse won't be changed as a dynamic cursor.
Instead, it just show default cursor.
Even not a ImageFrame in this ".ani" file.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Why don't Chrome(Chromium) Support ".ANI(Cursor)" but ".CUR(Cursor)" File?
This CSS File includes this two type File,
And the using is ".cur", the noted is ".ani".
They're all transcoded by base64.
But Only ".cur" works on Chrome(Chromium).
The ".ani" was useless.
Why???!!!

Does/did it work in non-Microsoft browsers (Firefox, Presto Opera and Safari)? If not and it has not implemented thus far, I hardly believe it will be implemented because it is apparently not required for vast web compatibility and the request perhaps does not come too often to matter as it probably would have in the 90s (where annoying animations or annoying cursor animations were widespread ;)).

 Issue 99568  seems to have received no development interest after being open for five years (and no stars, too). I could not find other similar issues. So not much interest to matter.

Thanks for filing the issue...

@reporter: Could you please provide a ".ani" file and a ".html" page linked this ".css" file so that it would be really helpful for further triaging of the issue. Requesting you to provide your observations as per comment#3.
