plugin XEP-0373: download public keys if they are not found in local storage: public keys were only obtained from PEP notifications, however this wasn't working if the entity was not in our roster. Now if no public key is retrieved from local storage, the public key node is requested, and an error is raised if nothing is found. This allows the use of OX with entities which are not in roster. rel 380

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``.
