Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
If you are using the `zoom` CSS property to scale down UI elements the positioning of the CDK Overlay are calculated incorrectly.
#### What is the expected behavior?
Overlay positions properly as the non-zoomed styled `div`
#### What is the current behavior?
Overlay positions are calculated incorrectly when the `zoom: 0.9` css property is on the parent container.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/cdk-overlay-zoom
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
We have a Chrome only application that we use the `zoom` css property to scale down the UI. Using other methods of scaling does not work, so this is what we have to do.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
Angular - 5.2.10
CDK - 5.2.5
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and compare overlay placement with and without `zoom: 0.9` on the parent. Trace the CDK Overlay positioning entry point and its coordinate calculations, then verify that the overlay aligns with the non-zoomed container in the reproduction.
