CMS pushes Vet Center common name to Lighthouse #15445

Problem Statement

Veterans often know Vet Centers by common names rather than an official name. Currently, the Facility Locator results only show an official Vet Center name. This may create confusion for a Veteran looking for the Vet Center's common name. The Facility Locator results should show both Vet Center common and official names.

The facility API has no record of the common name. It only has the official name. The common name only lives in the CMS for Vet Centers. Outstations don't even have a field for it.

If it needs to show on the facility locator, we'd have to push the value to lighthouse.
