--[==[
Parse a gender and number spec, possibly with multiple comma-separated gender/number specs and potentially with
inline modifiers. Used by [[Module:parameters]]. `data` is an object with the following fields:
* `spec`: The unparsed gender/number spec.
* `paramname`: The name of the parameter where the gender/number spec was retrieved from, for error messages. Optional.
* `parse_err`: Optional function to display a parse error message, in the format required for
`parse_inline_modifiers` in [[Module:parse utilities]].
* `allow_multiple`: If true, allow multiple comma-separated gender/number specs. If given, the return value will be a
list of parsed gender/number specs instead of a single such object.
* `allow_space_around_comma`: If true, spaces can be placed around the comma separating multiple gender/number specs.
It's not generally recommended to set this.

The return value is a gender/number spec of the sort accepted by [[Module:gender and number]]; or, if `allow_multiple`
is given, a list of such specs. In each spec, the field `spec` contains the gender/number spec itself (e.g. `m-in-p`)
and other fields contain parsed inline modifiers. The following modifiers are supported:
* `q`: Left qualifier.
* `qq`: Right qualifier.
* `l`: Left label(s).
* `ll`: Right label(s).
* `ref`: Reference(s).
