Fix greeting header to use full name and truncate on small screens
What does this MR do and why?
Fix greeting header to use full name instead of first word only
Problem
The greeting header was splitting the user's full name on the first space and displaying only the first word. This caused issues for users with:
- Compound last names (e.g., "DE LA FONTAINE Jean" → "Hi, DE")
- Compound first names (e.g., "François Xavier DOE" → loses "Xavier")
- LDAP-synced names in "LASTNAME Firstname" format
Solution
Use the full name directly instead of splitting it. This is simpler and respects different naming conventions from various directory systems (LDAP, Active Directory, etc.).
