The default DEPMETHOD for vala's bl3 is "build", so there's no point
duplicating that in each package. Given that it is only ever a build
dependency, completely remove the indirect dependencies as they should not
be made available. Also remove obsolete BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS settings.
Tested with a few of the affected packages.
This file is generally only included when the valac and vapigen tools are
required, and it even defaults to DEPMETHOD=build. The library dependencies
are not required for running the tools, and this avoids a number of implicit
dependency issues.

Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).
No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.
