Feature Request: Use contact names for JSON HTTP output

[jyundt]

Currently the JSON payload returned in daemon/http mode does not resolve properties like destination and author to the "friendly" contact names; just the numeric value.

As an example: below is stdout when running in daemon/http mode (I've slightly redacted my phone number for reference):

However, the returned JSON payload does not resolve my number (6468675309) to my contact name / friendly name:

            }
        }
    },
    "account": "+16468675309"
}

Could this behavior be changed so that envelope.syncMessage.sentMessage.destination and envelope.syncMessage.sentMessage.quote.author resolve to friendly name / contact names similar to the stdout output?

I was able to reproduce this behavior on both $LATEST (cb129db) and the official v0.13.5 release.

Using author as an example, it looks to be using getLegacyIdentifier(), could this use something like getContactOrProfileName()?

Changing the author field is not possible, but adding an additional authorName field would work.
