core (memory/crypto): replaced `PyCrypto` by `cryptography`: `PyCrypto` is unmaintained for years but was used in SàT for password hashing. This patch fixes that by replacing `PyCrypto` by the reference `cryptography` module which is well maintained. The behaviour stays the same (except that previously async `hash`, `encrypt` and `decrypt` methods are now synchronous, as they are quick and using a deferToThread may actually be more resource intensive than using blocking methods). It is planed to improve `memory.crypto` by using more up-to-date cryptography/hashing algorithms in the future. PyCrypto is no more a dependency of SàT

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``.
