plugin XEP-0384, xml_tools: avoid `getItems` timeout + fix empty node crash + parsing: - use `max_items` in `getItems` calls for bundles, as otherwise some pubsub service may return full nodes, which may be huge is `max_items=1` is not set on the node, possibly resulting in timeouts. - the plugin was crashing when TWOMEMO devices list node has no items at all. This is not the case anymore. - a naive parsing method has been implemented in `xml_tools` to replace the serialisation/deserialisation method. This should be more efficient and will avoid annoying `ns0:` prefixes in XML logs.

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``.
