makepkg: reduce strictness of pkgver in depends linting
This change was introduced to prevent entries like depends=('foo>'). However, it had the unintended side effect of causing a number of working PKGBUILDs to fail to build. This happened when a PKGBUILD defined one variable through calling a "complex" statement within the PKGBUILD's package function (e.g. a function or evaluating in a subshell), then used it to define the package metadata variable. extract_function_variable() cannot execute the package function in order to retrieve this information, so it performs a simple grep + eval instead and in the process misses the contextual awareness of running within the package function. While not catching these "issues" can result in incorrect SRCINFO, the resulting packages are fine. Stop aborting on the common case where the pkgver of a dependency is dynamically set during the package function until the large number of broken PKGBUILDs are fixed, and the restrictions of the PKGBUILD format are documented.
