Administration Process support for updating names in Verse user profiles

The Administration Process rename person request now updates names in HCL Verse user profiles.

When adminp is used to rename a Verse user, the Rename Person in Calendar Entries and Profiles in Mail File Extended request that is part of the rename workflow now updates the user's Verse profiles. As a result, the Notes style and internet style names in the Verse Important to Me bar and in type-ahead are updated, if changed. The updates occur automatically and no additional steps are required.
