/**
 * This function returns remote server connection informations.
 * If these informations are not available (because we receive no ActivityPub
 * data from this remote server), we will fetch them on a dedicated url.
 *
 * This information will also be stored.
 *
 * For all remote videos that our instance federated, remote server information
 * are sent using ActivityPub.
 * But there is a case in which we need information about potentially unknown
 * servers.
 *
 * Use case:
 * - server A: our server, proposing video V
 * - server B: server that follows ours (or used to watch V, without following A)
 * - user from B connect to the B XMPP server
 * - server B has server A connection informations (got it using ActivityPub)
 * - but, when using Websocket S2S, server A needs information from B, that he never receives
 *
 * Indeed, the XMPP S2S dialback mecanism will try to connect back to
 * server A, and transmit a secret key, to ensure that all incomming connection
 * are valid.
 *
 * For more informations about dialback: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0220.html
 *
 * @param options server options
 * @param remoteInstanceUrl remote instance url to check (as readed in the request header)
 * @returns true if the remote instance is ok
