fix(lookup): QRZ Name is the first name, not first + surname

A log greets an operator; it does not address an envelope. "Robert Smith"
filled the Name field with something no one would ever send on the air, and it
is the first name that gets used when the contact is answered.

So fname alone, with the surname kept only as a last resort for a record that
has no first name at all — better a surname than an empty field. The nickname
option now falls back to the first name too, which is what it should have done
from the start.

joinName went with it: nothing composed a name any more.
