bridge (dbus): use Tx DBus for backend part of D-Bus bridge: Due to recent SQLAlchemy integration, Libervia is now using AsyncIO loop exclusively as main loop, thus GLib's one can't be used anymore (event if it could be in a separate thread). Furthermore Python-DBus is known to have design flaws mentioned even in the official documentation. Tx DBus is now used to replace Python-DBus, but only for the backend for now, as it will need some work on the frontend before we can get completely rid of it.

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``.
