Description
Would it be possible to allow something the configuration file to override the name that is shown in the tray icon popover? Currently the file name of the OVPN file is used, but it would be nice if that name could also be specified in the configuration file itself.
Maybe this seems like a weird requirement, and may not seem like a good idea, why not simply change the filename? but when you download a file the characters are limited, e.g. UTF-8 support for offering downloads to browsers does not seem to work everywhere reliable, etc. Furthermore, when combining this with #156 the user may not have the option to rename first.

Research direction
Start by locating the tray icon popover implementation and the OVPN configuration-file parsing entry point. Confirm how the current display name is derived, then define the configuration value and preserve the filename as the fallback; done means the configured name appears in the popover for supported files.
