(proposal) Replace user.first and user.last with user.display_name

[jniles]

I propose that we replace the user.first and user.last names with user.display_name that will appear on reports. This is much less confusing and gives the user control over the way the name is displayed (first, middle, last OR last, first, middle).

@IMA-WorldHealth/local-contributors what do you think?

I agree - this should also be uniform across all tables that we record a name (potentially with patients as an exception).

For example, some different naming schemes we have currently:

Employees - employee.prenom employee.name employee.postnom
Users - user.first user.last
Suppliers - supplier.name
Patients - patient.first_name patient.middle_name patient.last_name

@sfount, thanks for the feedback. Those are good observations - I think we could update most of these tables with display_name to lower confusion. We can schedule this as a refactor due sometime.

@lomamech, could you work on this issue while waiting for a review on #669?

Closed in #676.
