Review request for Viewer.


Summary
-------

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-24917
I have been finding the redundent display of functionally equivalent names in 
nearby chat history and IM history quite tiresome.
Simple proposal: If the resident's Display Name is at the default then do not 
display their user.name.
https://bitbucket.org/ArdyLay/viewer-development-vwr-24917

Change is to: LLAvatarName::getCompleteName

I find the following Callers:
LLAvatarActions::requestFriendshipDialog
LLAvatarActions::startIM
LLAvatarActions::startCall
LLIMModel::LLIMSession
LLIMModel::logToFile
LLPostponedNotification::onAvatarNameCache
LLUrlEntryAgent::onAvatarNameCache
LLUrlEntryAgent::getLabel
LLUrlEntryAgentCompleteName::getName

// Callback for name resolution of a god/estate message
llviewermessage.cpp(2149): args["NAME"] = av_name.getCompleteName();
llviewermessage.cpp(2154): chat.mText = av_name.getCompleteName() + ": " + 
message;

static void on_avatar_name_cache_toast ...
llimview.cpp(108): args["FROM"] = av_name.getCompleteName();

Some of these make me wonder if this change will cause some defects and should 
be implimented as a seperate function.


This addresses bug VWR-24917.

Testing
-------

I have been using this trivial change and have shared it with a friend, via 
bitbucket.  We have both built the viewer on Windows 7 and find the resulting 
reduction in redundent text in chat and IM history on screen to be very helpful.


Thanks,
