Bugfix: Tracepoints for Transactions with Display Names

Prior to the bugfix transactions with a human readable display name never collected any traces, because the daemons filtered traces using this display name instead of the actual technical name that is available during tracing in the PHP extension and daemon. This is now fixed on the backend side of Tideways, no PHP extension or daemon updates are necessary.
