One solution for no vala in oe-core would be for all vala-supporting
recipes in oe-core to have a PACKAGECONFIG[vala], so if someone does want
Vala then they just need to add meta-vala (for example) to their layers and
enable the PACKAGECONFIGs where they want it enabled.  There's plenty of
prior art for this behaviour in oe-core already.
