plugin app manager: `start` doesn't wait anymore for actual app start: Application may be long to start (e.g. a Docker app may have to download images first, and even without the downloading, the starting could be long), which may lead to UI blocking or bridge time out. To prevent that, `start` is now returning immediately, and 2 new signals are used to indicate when the application is started, of if something wrong happened. `start` now returns initial app data, including exposed data without the computed exposed data. The computed data must be retrieved after the app has been started.

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and data about the
avatar.

When available, cached values are returned by defaut. If you want to ignore the cache, use
the ``--no-cache`` option (of course this can result in more network requests).

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ li identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. So far, you can only
change the nickname of an entity using ``-n, --nick`` or or more times

example
-------

Set 2 nicknames for default profile::

  $ li identity set -n toto -n titi
