Peter Hoeg a6d1d06a95 vala: unify builders for various versions
We are currently carrying a number of vala versions where each version
is essentially just a copy of the earlier version.

This PR gets rid of a ton of duplication and uses a standard builder.

Secondly, we add a definition for the latest vala 0.34.1.

Lastly, we add a generic "vala" that refers to the latest stable
version.

I have tried changing the definitions for "simple-scan" and "valum" to use
the latest vala version and they at least compile OK so I'll try a
massive sed job to replace all the definitions later to simply use the
latest version through "vala" instead of specifying a version directly.

According to upstream:

"Well-maintained packages are expected to always build with the latest
stable Vala version."

Maybe this means that my generic builder is then no longer necessary. Oh well...

I added myself to the maintainer array for vala although I have no
interest in the language - this was purely a nix exercise for me but I
thought it was reasonable to be the one to clean up the mess if this has
side effects...

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
