Problem

Renaming an app only changed its name in the app drawer. The home screen kept showing the original name.

Fix

Added one helper, Prefs.getAppDisplayName(). It returns the alias if one is set, otherwise the app's own label. It is now used on the home screen, in the favorites list, in notification badge labels and in the home apps widget.

Testing

Renamed an app on the emulator and checked that the new name appears on the home screen and in favorites.

Renaming an app only changed its name in the app drawer. The home screen,
the favorites list, notification badge labels and the home apps widget kept
showing the original label. Add Prefs.getAppDisplayName() (alias if set,
otherwise the app label) and use it in all of these places.
