Non-blocking ICMP ping plugin

[nuclearcat]

Hi,

I just created non-blocking ICMP plugin that allows multiple instances.
It is very handy in following scenarios:
1)Watchdog for Buggy WIFI stack or AP, sometimes AP or device wifi stack itself partially crash, shows themself as associated, but IP stack is dead and device cannot reach anything outside.
2)Watchdog for various IP-enabled devices. ESP Easy unit can check his own wifi connection (ping to AP or gateway), and then, if it is fine - check device, and if it failed N times- reboot and set grace period until next checks.
3)Monitor several devices behind nat and send results outside, to controller

But i have following problem, different, 9 month old _P126_Ping already exist in playground, but it uses third-party ESP8266-only library (mine doesn't use any), and does preallocate quite large resources in ram even without init.
Honestly i didnt tested mine on ESP32, but it should be not hard to port it, if necessary.
Shall i push my plugin to playground under new ID or same ID, as 126?

You could publish it to the main repository if you are gonna maintain it, else push to playground.

Thank you, seems i will test it internally, thoroughly, then will send pull request for main tree.

Sounds good!

Yep for sure sounds good.
You can already make a pull request and write a note along with it that it is still in test phase, so not yet to be merged.
Then I can also have a look at it (no I am not curious....)
