CC Processing - Soft Descriptor

For DDP, PayFlow, Braintree, REST credit cards...we need to add an option in the gateway settings where you can set the soft descriptor, which is what the buyer will see on their CC statement.

This is important to set at the transaction level, because otherwise it defaults to the PayPal account holder's primary business name, which is a problem when people are using a single PayPal account and selling from multiple websites. User's don't recognize the name on the statement, and they submit disputes because of it.

can you please suggest me which value we should assign to softdescriptor field? or just need to hook/filter to extend purpose or add new setting field for Soft Descriptor.

@kcppdevelopers This would just be an additional option/field on the settings page. So the label would be "Credit Card Statement Name" and then they could fill in whatever value they want.

@kcppdevelopers I see that we've added the Credit Card Statement Name option to the settings for each of the credit card gateways, but it looks like most of them aren't actually including that value in the API request at all..??

@angelleye I have checked code and it seems already include in the API request. Please check : https://pastebin.com/raw/mLJf5gUi
