function update_get_available

Tries to get update information and refreshes it when necessary.

In addition to checking the lifetime, this function also ensures that there are no .info.yml files for installed modules or themes that have a newer modification timestamp than the last time we checked for available update data. If any .info.yml file was modified, it almost certainly means a new version of something was installed. Without fresh available update data, the logic in update_calculate_project_data() will be wrong and produce confusing, bogus results.

Parameters

$refresh: (optional) Boolean to indicate if this method should refresh automatically if there's no data. Defaults to FALSE.

Return value

array Array of data about available releases, keyed by project shortname.
