Replace displayColumn by naming

Switching from using displayColumn to naming in a table is considered a major change.

The usage of displayColumn only makes the protocol incompatible with Cassandra if the displaycolumn value changes.

The displayColumn value is used for storing the trend (and alarm keys). When a display column is updated, this breaks the link to the trend/alarm history.

Impact

Existing trend data is no longer accessible.
