Always take official HGNC symbol #9

When querying EnsEMBL, a list of all possible HGNC symbols for a gene is considered (official symbol, aliases) and on a match in EnsEBML, that symbol is returned. We should return the official HGNC symbol regardless of what symbol enabled us to match it in EnsEMBL.
