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.

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``.

.. _XEP-0199: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0199.html
