Previously, Livestatus queries for custom_variable_names columns had to prepend an underscore to a variable name to find a given variable. This was an implementation detail which should not shine through, and it was highly inconsistent with the handling of custom_variables columns. This has been fixed, so no spurious underscore is needed anymore.
