Subject: [PATCH] fix(home): Show app alias on home screen, favorites and
 widget

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.
