Summary

Discord added the "display name" to the user profile a few weeks ago, nextcord doesn't support it yet.

What is the feature request for?

The core library

The Problem

Discord added the field "Display Name" to the user profile a few weeks ago, which is internally known as "global_name" (source).
As the username change rolls out to normal users now, it happens more and more often that a user will see their user-tag instead of their display name in bot responses.

The Ideal Solution

Add the field "global_name" or reuse the field "display_name" in the User object.

The Current Solution

No response

Additional Context

I haven't seen any pull request or issue yet, eventhough that change of discord is already known for a "longer" time now.
