vala: AM_PROG_VALAC should not produce an error for tool-old valac
This change fixes automake bug#12688.
In the AM_PROG_VALAC macro, when the optional parameter specifying the
minimum release number is not provided, and/or if the Vala compiler is
not found, then there is a _warning_ message.
On the other hand, when the version number is specified and if the Vala
compiler is too old, there is an _error_ message.
This error message is problematic, because for a tarball, the Vala
compiler is not required: the generated C code is included in the
tarball. So if a user wants to compile the software, he shouldn't
need the valac program with the right version.
* m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Modify to use AC_MSG_WARN instead
of AC_MSG_ERROR.
* t/vala4.sh: Adjust and enhance.
* doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Likewise.
* THANKS: Update.
