quick frontends (app): added an "ignore_missing" argument to RemoveListener: normally an error is logged when removeListener is call on a inexisting listener, but sometimes listeners are added only in specific scenarios, and it may be handy to try to delete them without having to explictly check that they have been used.

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``.
