docker: set `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` so that it uses remote TCP with local fallback: When connecting to Docker service, first the `backend` container will be tried with TCP, then an Unix Socket will be used as fallback. The Unix Socket is put in Libervia local dir which is a volume shared between containers. This way D-Bus can be used with a remote backend, or the backend can be run locally (notably during build when accounts creation or other settings must be done via Libervia CLI).

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``.
