docker (backend-dev): move dbus unix socket: there seem to be a regression with Docker: the volume is not propagated anymore with pre-existing files when a unix socket is inside. This is the case in `backend-dev` with the D-Bus unix socket put in `/home/libervia/.local/share/libervia/dbus_socket`, when the volume is mounted at `/home/libervia/.local/share/libervia/`, resulting in hard to debug failures. To work around that, the socket is not put in the volume mount point anymore, and has been moved to `/home/libervia/.local/share/`

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
