Sender name in SMS messages

[Simon Redman]

Nico correctly reminded me that installing kpeoplevcard is a requirement 
to use kpeoplevcard :)

This has resolved the issue for me.

Please install kpeoplevcard and report back whether it fixes the issue 
for you. You might raise a bug with your distribution's KDE Connect 
(SMS) package, asking them to include this (runtime/optional) dependency.

Thanks,
Simon
