core (xmpp): avoid starting several clients at the same time: a check is done to avoid running startConnection several times at once, which would lead to the creation of several SatXMPPEntity instances at the same time, resulting in many issues. If startConnection is called while a previous one is not finished yet, a CancelError is now raised.

=========================================
ping: get response time of an XMPP entity
=========================================

``ping`` is more or less the equivalent of the command of the same name on most OSes, but
for XMPP. It send a `XEP-0199`_ PING and wait for the answer. When (and if) received, the
time to receive the answer is shown, else the time to receive the error message is shown.
This can be helpful to quickly test the connection with the server or a device.

If you need to get only the response time (without text around), you may use ``-d,
--delay-only``.
