Add pimple/pimple as composer Dependency for ILIAS 12

[thibsy]

Assessment:

• This dependency provides a dependency injection container implementation.

General Information:

• Name of the dependency: pimple/pimple
• Version: v3.6.0
• this dependency was already used in ILIAS.
• the dependency's license is compatible with ILIAS' license: MIT

Type of dependency:

• composer
• npm

Usage:

• almost all ILIAS components via $DIC
• ILIAS\Component for the bootstrap process

Reasoning:

• Pimple provides a light weight and simple dependency injection container, which is yet quite powerful to use.

Maintenance:

• Last update of the Library: 2025-11-12, PHP Version: >=7.2.5
• Feature complete, receives only PHP-version and security updates.

Links:

• Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/pimple/pimple
• GitHub: https://github.com/silexphp/Pimple.git
• Documentation: -

Alternatives:

• We could easily implement our own DI container, but its very low priority atm.
