 * Create an alternative parser for aggregator module.
 *
 * A parser converts feed item data to a common format. The parser is called
 * at the second of the three aggregation stages: first, data is downloaded
 * by the active fetcher; second, it is converted to a common format by the
 * active parser; and finally, it is passed to all active processors which
 * manipulate or store the data.
 *
 * Modules that define this hook can be set as the active parser within the
 * configuration page. Only one parser can be active at a time.
 *
 * @param $feed
 *   An object describing the resource to be parsed. $feed->source_string
 *   contains the raw feed data. The hook implementation should parse this data
 *   and add the following properties to the $feed object:
 *   - description: The human-readable description of the feed.
 *   - link: A full URL that directly relates to the feed.
 *   - image: An image URL used to display an image of the feed.
 *   - etag: An entity tag from the HTTP header used for cache validation to
 *     determine if the content has been changed.
 *   - modified: The UNIX timestamp when the feed was last modified.
 *   - items: An array of feed items. The common format for a single feed item
 *     is an associative array containing:
 *     - title: The human-readable title of the feed item.
 *     - description: The full body text of the item or a summary.
 *     - timestamp: The UNIX timestamp when the feed item was last published.
 *     - author: The author of the feed item.
 *     - guid: The global unique identifier (GUID) string that uniquely
 *       identifies the item. If not available, the link is used to identify
 *       the item.
 *     - link: A full URL to the individual feed item.
 *
 * @return
 *   TRUE if parsing was successful, FALSE otherwise.
