cli (call): `tui` output implementation: - Moved original UI to a separated class, and use if with the `simple` output - By default, best output is automatically selected. For now `gui` is selected if possible, and `simple` is used as fallback. - The new `tui` output can be used to have the videos directly embedded in the terminal, either with real videos for compatible terminal emulators, or with Unicode blocks. - Text contrôls are used for both `simple` and `tui` outputs - several options can be used with `--oo` (will be documented in next commit). rel 428

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``.
