RDCMan: Bug: modifying Server Name in server settings should not modify Display Name.

Host IP addresses can be expected to change over time - for example, a Windows instance hosted at AWS or Azure may change its IP address if the VM gets migrated to new hardware. So, it's reasonable to assume an existing RDCMan server entry will need the Server Name (a.k.a. IP address or DNS name) updated occasionally.

Unfortunately, this also changes the Display Name to match. That behavior is reasonable when first creating a new server entry, but it's bad when updating an existing entry. You have to take extra steps to capture and repair the Display Name after changing the Server Name.

Please change the Server Name field to not modify the Display Name field if it's an existing entry.

Thanks!
