feat: Allow ${workspaceFolder} in vala.languageServerPath configuration

The predefined VSCode variables [1] are not automatically substituted for configuration options. The Vala extension must do the substitution to allow the Vala language server to be relative to the workspace folder.

This patch is a simplified version of the substitution in the Rust extension [2].
