Summary	0008654: Show the previous profession when profession change occurs
Description	Show the old profession and not only the new one when profession change occurs. I sometimes do remember my group of dwarves more by their professions than by their names. When they do other jobs then they are used to they tend to change their profession. Having this feature would be helpful to get better track of what is going on. Example: change "Ur Urson has become a carpenter." to something like "Ur Urson, who used to be a woodcutter, has become a carpenter." to not only know "you have one more carpenter" but also "you have one less woodcutter"). It may signal assigned labor tasks of your dwarves may need to be checked and potentially changed.
Steps To Reproduce	Make dwarf with AAA profession do BBB jobs for some time. Watch him change the profession.
