With Show Display Name on, the phone sends the app's display name in the watch state, so LoopFollow, LoopFollow_Second and LoopFollow_Third can be told apart on the watch. The glucose page shows the name at the top left, next to the reading age. The rectangular complication shows it on a small line above the BG, the inline complication puts it first, and the corner complication adds it to the curved label. The circular complication has no room and is unchanged. Names built from the default LoopFollow_ pattern truncate at the head so the suffix stays visible. With the setting off, the state has no name and the watch looks as before; when the watch fetches on its own it keeps the last name from the phone.

The complications could not be added to a watch face in the simulator, so this is a draft until they have been checked on a real watch.

Closes #812
