fontselect: coretext: get fallback font family name via FreeType
Since commit be0d1613f79a95073d18d96a60e1394abf9316a2, get_fallback can return a name from Core Text that is different from all names that match_fonts registers for the same font. This causes font fallback to fail as find_fonts fails to find any font having the name received from get_fallback. (Moreover, libass will keep retrying fallback for other glyphs, and the coretext match_fonts will keep readding the same fonts over and over again.) Commit 152d0484e98f118d01987138695cf40579c9e297 attempted to fix font fallback by getting a full name from Core Text instead of a family name when it was noticed that Core Text's family name can come from TT_NAME_ID_TYPOGRAPHIC_FAMILY in addition to TT_NAME_ID_FONT_FAMILY, which we fetch in get_font_info, but the problem goes deeper: Core Text can return Macintosh-platform names that don't match Microsoft-platform names, or the font might have no Microsoft-platform names at all. Furthermore, returning a full name breaks style matching: get_fallback does not know about weight, slant etc. and is expected to return a whole family of fonts that will be lazy-loaded in its entirety (if applicable) and searched through for the best stylistic match by find_fonts. To fix fallback while preserving maximum name portability in the spirit of be0d1613f79a95073d18d96a60e1394abf9316a2, use the same API in get_fallback as is used in match_fonts to look up a family name. Note: this could be more efficient if ass_get_font_info could be told to return just an arbitrary family name. This fixes https://github.com/libass/libass/issues/457.
