Bump Vala requirement

If tp-glib is built with valac-0.12, it doesn't generate a Vala binding for the ContactInfoField constructor.

Folks depends upon this constructor, so building tp-glib with valac-0.12 and later Folks with valac-0.14 (or later) results in the following build failure (caught by Laurent):

VALAC  libfolks_telepathy_la_vala.stamp
tpf-persona-store.vala:2196.19-2196.67: error: `TelepathyGLib.ContactInfoField' does not have a default constructor
var field = new ContactInfoField ("bday", parameters, values);
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Once this fix is included in a release of tp-glib, Folks will depend upon that version.

(Vala 0.14.0 is the stable version for Gnome 3.2 and is included in the latest releases of the major distros).

Merged to 0.16 and master!
