Logging out of an OIDC RP only shows the clientID instead of the name on the logout page

Hi Scott,

I forgot to mention: idp.logout.elaboration is set to true! (and works 
for SAML based SPs).
I don't see how "display a readable client name instead of a meaningless 
client ID" is confusing. I'm not talking about hiding the X, I want tom 
ake it clearer which service they're logging out from.

Best
Max
