meson: Require Vala > 0.40.10

@ricotz helpfully pointed out that we don't need the
`--disable-since-check`, since we don't even compile on valac 0.38.10.

Let's remove the check for the option, and instead have a check at the
beginning that people aren't trying to compile Contcts on a too old
Vala.
