tests (e2e/cli/cache_search): make the test more resilient: the caching is triggered by `li.blog.get`, but it is done in parallel without blocking the command, thus there is a possibility that the data is not yet in cache when the following test is done. A loop with delay is done, to be sure that cache is filled before doing the assertion.

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
