 * Get an array of information about modules that support an API.
 *
 * This will ask each module if they support the given API, and if they do
 * it will return an array of information about the modules that do.
 *
 * This function invokes hook_ctools_api. This invocation is statically
 * cached, so feel free to call it as often per page run as you like, it
 * will cost very little.
 *
 * This function can be used as an alternative to module_implements and can
 * thus be used to find a precise list of modules that not only support
 * a given hook (aka 'api') but also restrict to only modules that use
 * the given version. This will allow multiple modules moving at different
 * paces to still be able to work together and, in the event of a mismatch,
 * either fall back to older behaviors or simply cease loading, which is
 * still better than a crash.
 *
 * @param $owner
 *   The name of the module that controls the API.
 * @param $api
 *   The name of the api. The api name forms the file name:
 *   $module.$api.inc
 * @param $minimum_version
 *   The lowest version API that is compatible with this one. If a module
 *   reports its API as older than this, its files will not be loaded. This
 *   should never change during operation.
 * @param $current_version
 *   The current version of the api. If a module reports its minimum API as
 *   higher than this, its files will not be loaded. This should never change
 *   during operation.
 *
 * @return
 *   An array of API information, keyed by module. Each module's information will
 *   contain:
 *   - 'version': The version of the API required by the module. The module
 *     should use the lowest number it can support so that the widest range
 *     of supported versions can be used.
 *   - 'path': If not provided, this will be the module's path. This is
 *     where the module will store any subsidiary files. This differs from
 *     plugin paths which are figured separately.
 *
 *   APIs can request any other information to be placed here that they might
 *   need. This should be in the documentation for that particular API.
