PHAR minimal requirements

[theofidry]

The extension ext-phar will always be necessary for the PHAR and as such should be included in the requirements whether or not it is declared in the composer.json require section.

If the PHAR is compressed, the zip extension is also required, but it is likely that PHP will not be able to even execute it without it anyway so to be check if it's worth it or not

just a thought: isn't it also possible to keep the files uncompressed? so zip would be optional. not sure if an uncompressed phar can be executed without the zip extension

[theofidry]

Yes, this is why Composer does not compress theirs
