Icon aliases for FontAwesome6 do not resolve correctly #346

Hey there!

As far as I understand, FA6 incorporates aliases for compatibility with previous namings of certain icons, that are now under a different name.

e.g. icon of name book-reader should resolve to the same icon as book-open-reader

That is visible and implemented in the FA6 glyphmap as I see in this repository: https://github.com/expo/vector-icons/blob/7ee586735b8cfdfbbad79c7eb4176034f4a0cab9/build/vendor/react-native-vector-icons/glyphmaps/FontAwesome6Free.json

Yet, despite that, the aliases don't seem to work, as for the aforementioned example only book-open-reader renders the icon properly.

Same can be observed on the icons listing website (https://icons.expo.fyi/Index), the aliases are also not rendered there, despite being listed.
