Allow nikic/php-parser v5 (TYPO3 13 compatibility)

[kevin-appelt]

The issue

TYPO3 Rector does block the update to the just released TYPO3 v13.1 due to dependency conflicts.

Composer error message

- Root composer.json requires ssch/typo3-rector 2.5.0 -> satisfiable by ssch/typo3-rector[v2.5.0].
- typo3/cms-install 13.2.x-dev is an alias of typo3/cms-install dev-main and thus requires it to be installed too.
- typo3/cms-install[dev-main, v13.1.0] require nikic/php-parser ^5.0.1 -> satisfiable by nikic/php-parser[v5.0.1, v5.0.2, 5.0.x-dev].
- Conclusion: don't install nikic/php-parser v5.0.2 (conflict analysis result)
- Root composer.json requires typo3/cms-install ^13.1 -> satisfiable by typo3/cms-install[v13.1.0, 13.2.x-dev (alias of dev-main)].

The dependency conflict

typo3/cms-install requires "nikic/php-parser": "^5.0.1" ssch/typo3-rector requires "nikic/php-parser": "^4.18.0"

The solution

Allow installation of nikic/php-parser v5 (maybe in addition to v4 if needed/possible).

This might help somehow

• The related require commit from TYPO3
• The nikic/php-parser upgrade guide for v4=>v5

Quickfix

Just in case someone stumbles across this issue as long as it is not resolved. Removing TYPO3 Rector (for now) does allow installation of TYPO3 v13.1

@kevin-appelt Thanks for reporting it. We should rather make TYPO3 compatible for v4 and v5 of nikic/php-parser. The task should be much simpler.

This is mostly blocked by Rector itself as Rector itself is not compatible with nikic/php-parser v5, see https://github.com/rectorphp/rector/issues/8567
