Feature description

Make "Display Name" (FN) field editable and do not auto update from other fields.

Why do you want this feature?

As far as I can understand contacts app auto generates Display Name (FN) field from First Name/Middle Name/Last Name... sections. But I believe generating only once if contact are creating from this app is enough. Users should be able to directly change this field.

This supports users to easily organize their contacts I guess.

Additional information

Note: This is also required for Full Nextcloud/Vcard v4 Integration. See #85
Note2: Otherwise updating Display Name field from any DAV server (for example Nextcloud + Davx5) are not going to work because app still updates it from other fields.

#129 (comment)

@asandikci, if this is implemented, I would like to be able to choose to retain the current behaviour. Were it not doing this, I would have filed an FR to have the FN automatically update from the N field. However, should nextcloud/contacts#3983 (comment) be implemented, it would be reasonable to expect that this conversation would become necessary.
