Subject: [PATCH] Skip eglot project-name when project-mode-line=t

Both the eglot mode line entry and project-mode-line add
project-name to the modeline.  When both of them are enabled,
this is unnecessary duplication.

To fix, add the customization eglot-mode-line-project-name to
allow disabling the project-name in eglot's mode-line entry.

Furthermore, by default, set this customization so that eglot
will check project-mode-line and omit the project-name if
project-mode-line is non-nil.  This allows a user to just set
project-mode-line without having to separately customize eglot.

* lisp/progmodes/eglot.el (eglot-mode-line-project-name): Add.
(eglot--mode-line-format): Check
eglot-mode-line-project-name. (bug#71823)
