Summary of Changes

Our System - Joomla! Statistics still uses deprecated method Cache::getInstance method to create cache controller. This PR updates plugin, inject cache controller factory and use that injected factory to create cache controller instead.

Testing Instructions

• Use Joomla 6.2
• Go to System -> Global Configuration, System tab, set System Cache to one of the two ON options
• Go to System -> Plugins, find System - Joomla! Statistics plugin. Click on it to edit and set Interval (hours) to 0, set Mode to Ask Again, Status to Enabled . Save it.
• When the page reloaded, there will be a popup as you whether you want to Enable Joomla Statistics?, click on No button
• Refresh the page, make sure the plugin is now disabled.

If you understand our cache API, code review should be faster. The idea is the plugin should still work the same as before

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

Works, but use deprecated code to create cache controller

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

Works, without using deprecated code. The cache controller factory is properly injected into plugin.
