      vala.eclass: raise VALA_MAX_API_VERSION to 0.48

it breaks dependency resolution for everyone who has the package
installed. This is already against our written policy, but not in
practice, because QA and council members regularly do it themselves.
Unless a majority of candidates run for council on the platform of
actually doing a good job and/or following the rules, we all just have
to live with it forever.
