Follow-up from #211747: Allow specifying version information as part of module dependencies...

Themes can depend on base themes. If modules can specify version dependencies, seems like sub themes should be able to specify version dependencies on their base theme. E.g. a base theme gets a 7.x-2.* series with new features. If someone writes a subtheme of that, they want to be able to specify "(>=2.x)" after the declare the base theme in their .info file...

This should be blocked on #533586: Version dependencies: Refactor dependency checks into sharable helper functions but I wanted to submit it as a separate issue...

#533586: Version dependencies: Refactor dependency checks into sharable helper functions landed. We now have drupal_parse_dependency() and drupal_check_incompatibility(), so we should be ready to roll here. I have negative time these days -- I'm deeply in the hole on other work -- so if anyone else wants to run with this, please do. Thanks!
