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).
