[Buildroot] [git commit branch/next] vala: do not append a -dirty suffix to the valac version number

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f87cbf0ed9e0efa12ee5e2ea5e81bdc217430c80
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

When vala is built inside a Git repository with uncommitted changes, the
valac version number has -dirty appended. This creates problems for
packages (e.g. Midori) which require a valac version number without
the -dirty suffix.

+valac: don't append -dirty to version
+
+Don't append -dirty to the valac version number if the Buildroot Git
+tree has uncommited changes.
+
+The patched script is meant for the valac developers, but it also
+activates if you build valac in a subdirectory of a Git tree (e.g.
+as is commonly done in Buildroot).
+
+The effect is that valac gets built as being version x.y.z-dirty, which
+breaks programs (such as Midori) that explicitly check for valac-x.y.z.
