context-companion-fonts breaks xetex ability to resolve fonts by aliasing font names

Not buggy, just they are intended as companions to the main ones adding
extra glyphs

avoid aliasing the standard fonts.

but the preferred-family field is not intended as an alias, the fact that
xetex is treating it as such appears to be a xetex issue.

Probably not yet set up out of the box, but lualatex could also use the
improved coverage provided by these fonts.
