Set -g when building Vala applications

Browse Source 
This requires the build system support VALAFLAGS. At least Meson and
Automake do.

Using -g is desired because it allows us to see Vala source files and
line numbers in backtraces when possible, falling back to generated C
code otherwise. Line numbers for generated C are almost always less
useful when debugging crashes.

source when possible.
