 * Dynamically allocates ovdsb_atom and stores its address in '*range_end_atom'
 * if successfully parses range. Caller is responsible for deallocating
 * the memory by calling 'ovsdb_atom_destroy' and then 'free' on the address.
 * Does not allocate memory and sets '*range_end_atom' to a null pointer
 * if does not parse a range or fails for any reason.
