fix(settings): do not use non-set localStorage values (#4299)

If a value is not set in localStorage then null is
returned. null should not be converted to an empty
string (via _.escape) because that will then be
stored in localStorage as the user set preference
and will keep overriding any other values set
in localStorage for the displayname.
