LLDP Device cuts off name #20

NetBox version
Netbox version v3.5.9

Describe the bug
Show the full LLDP device name in the "LLDP Neighbors" Tab

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to LLDP Neighbors Tab
  2. Look at the LLDP Device column
  3. If the hostname of the device has periods in it, it cuts off the tailing information after the period. Device "first.second.com" become just "first"

Expected behavior
The device name should show the full name of the device. This is important for it to match to the Configured Device name in Netbox.

Additional context
I found this same request from 2018 and it was denied because many devices use their FQDN rather than just their hostname. Yes, we store the FQDN as the device name in netbox. I am not sure why you wouldn't. Should we be naming devices in a different method or something that I am not aware of?
