 If one has javascript disabled the display name is not updated if the
 users changes his name. Also plugins that provide user credentials and
 update the users entry in the database can not determine the users
 display_name setting.

 The display_name field should only hold a reference to the style how the
 name is displayed. That way no javascript would be needed to set the
 display_name and also plugins can change the users credentials without
 producing inconsistency or forcing a style for the display name.
