Parses a dependency for comparison by drupal_check_incompatibility().

Parameters

$dependency: A dependency string, which specifies a module dependency, and optionally the project it comes from and versions that are supported. Supported formats include:

• 'module'
• 'project:module'
• 'project:module (>=version, version)'

Return value

An associative array with three keys:

• 'name' includes the name of the thing to depend on (e.g. 'foo').
• 'original_version' contains the original version string (which can be used in the UI for reporting incompatibilities).
• 'versions' is a list of associative arrays, each containing the keys 'op' and 'version'. 'op' can be one of: '=', '==', '!=', '<>', '<', '<=', '>', or '>='. 'version' is one piece like '4.5-beta3'.

Callers should pass this structure to drupal_check_incompatibility().
