11.48.1.2 Use Libertinus serif italic J from stylistic alternative

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=747713

The capital J in the serif italic font from Libertinus (i.e. Libertine) is a bit out of place. There is a stylistic alternative in the font (cf. for example this PR) that contains a glyph that's more ...
