[Mailman-Developers] Correcting the display name in the recipient address

So according to what I've gathered from the conversation, the fall back on
the user name can be made implicit. The user name is to be always used in
case of missing display name for the subscribed address.
The feature for suggesting the display names from the other records i.e.
linked via the user, but not subscribed, could, as suggested, be raised in
postorius for the UI part.

@Barry The mr code would first check if a display name is provided while
subscription i.e. `member.address.display_name`.
If not, it will check if the linked user has a display name and use that if
it exists i.e. `member.user.display_name`. And as a final case when both
these fail, it will use an empty string.
I'll go ahead and make these changes.

Thanks!
