Commit summary:

Add a new User::getDisplayName() to return the name that should be displayed in 
the interface.
Add a UserDisplayName hook to allow extensions to give custom display names for 
users.
Add a $wgRealNameInInterface to use the real name of a user as the display name.
To start of the first use of the display name functionality tweak SkinTemplate 
to declare the userdisplayname and use it inside of personal_urls.

Comment:

In what way? This is related to usernames rather than titles, there's nothing 
really related to titles here.

Rather than the displaytitle prop when I tried to fix it so that [[IPod]] would 
display [[iPod]] throughout the entire user interface it included a schema 
change. The title was stored inside the database. The displaytitle really 
wouldn't work as a good idea outside of where it is right now.

;) Actually this change might help with one of the issues I encountered in my 
title rewrite. getName() was being used for both comparison and display so I 
had issues with it. Now if we start using getDisplayName() that could be what's 
changed.
