Add a composer.json to enable support for PIE

[llaville]

Hello,

With recent release 4.2.6, I've noticed the PHAR distribution, and wanted to give a try !

I've downloaded the https://github.com/m6w6/ext-http/releases/download/v4.2.6/ext-http-v4.2.6.ext.phar on my PHP 8.2.25 platform, but was surprised to get masses of deprecations.

For example, when asking to display help panel with ./ext-http-v4.2.6.ext.phar -h command, I got :

Deprecated: Return type of pharext\Archive::offsetExists($o) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /shared/backups/bartlett/php-compatinfo-db/ext-http-v4.2.6.ext.phar on line 270

As project https://github.com/pharext/pharext seems a bit outdated, by source code and documentation (page https://pharext.org/pages/Home outdated), I suggest to add a composer.json to support PIE project available at https://github.com/php/pie

WDYT ?
