commit 791778d7b6e2f0e92c67e6812f85445171c24572
from: Alexander Barton <alex@barton.de>

Ping the service manager and set a status message

Periodically "ping" the service manager (every 3 seconds) and set a
status message showing connection statistics.

This enables using the systemd(8) watchdog functionality for the
"ngircd.service" unit.
