core: fix calls to `domish.Element.elements`: domish.Element.elements should be called with namespace and element name as 2 arguments, but it has been confused in several places with the call to `domish.Element.addElement` which is often done with a `(namespace, name)` tuple. Unfortunately calling with a tuple is accepted and doesn't raise any error in `elements`, but this result in a wrong element returned. This patch fixes the erroneous calls.

=========================================
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``.
