interpreter: Automatically add 'c' to languages when 'vala' is used

This is so dumb, we can just insert C for you without you having to know
that you're using C under the hood. This is nicer because:
1) Meson doesn't make the user add a language they're not explicitly
   using
2) If there was ever an implementaiton of Vala that didn't use C as
   it's assembly language, this wouldn't make any sense.
