realname_override 7.x-1.x-dev

This is the first commit with code. Currently this module only creates a second field in the realname admin interface that allows you to use a second token that takes precedence over the realname token.

Example Use Case:

You create 3 profile fields First Name, Last Name and Alternate Name. Lets say that you are using First and Last name for the realname token replacement, and you discover that you have 2 users with the same first and last names, and you have a view listing people by the realnames.... wouldn't it be nice if you could go into one of the users accounts and create an alternate name to be used for the realname, thus the Alternate Name field that you added in the 2nd token replacement field.

Now I can hear you asking... why didn't you add a middle name or something else? Great question.... we had a project where we had this come up and that was going to be our solution, however the client said that there were actually 2 users that had the same first, last and middle names, and that they would like a way to completely override the default rule of First and Last name replacements.

Its a very simple solution for a complicated problem to describe.
