bug(MatSortHeader): Apply cursor to mat-sort-header (instead of mat-sort-header-container)

[angelaki]

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

No response

Description

Right now the cursor: pointer automatically gets applied to mat-sort-header-container. Why not use mat-sort-header instead? Checking the example e.g. in the table (https://material.angular.io/components/sort/overview#using-sort-with-the-mat-table) there is a clickable area with no cursor indication. I think the cursor should be applied to the element implementing the click handler.

Reproduction

Just check your example (https://material.angular.io/components/sort/overview#using-sort-with-the-mat-table) and click in an area without cursor.

Expected Behavior

Just the area with cursor should handle the click.

Actual Behavior

No cursor, no handler.
