This PR attempts to help RP's understand the differences between user.name and user.displayName. It most importantly establishes user.name as the primary value displayed by browsers to users. The definition of user.displayName has also been tweaked to emphasize that this value has utility to differentiate "sub-accounts" for a given user.name, but without encouraging its use as based on observations I made back in February only Android currently exposes this value.

Fixes #1852.
