Title: Add some missing packets/functions

This adds back from v0.9 the following functions:

* `.ping(cb)`
* `.statistics(cb)`

I think `.ping()` is correct. About `.statistics()` I think it just returned a string, but here I'm trying to parse as it has a common format.

I'm open to suggestions to other missing functions or to change the `.statistics()` in any way..
