vala-0.54.1

[Douglas R. Reno]

New minor version

[Douglas R. Reno]

In any GNOME release, these would be done with the rest of the updates.

However, we updated glib to 2.70 already, and these should really be kept in sync with that. As such, I'll leave these in 11.1 (unless someone else wants me to move them into Gnome41).

It will need to be patched when we add libsoup-3:
