Add type inference syntax for const values

Description
For constant values, Vala can not use type inference. I propose to add the keyword 'let' that works in the same spirit as 'var', just creating a constant type, i.e.:
let x = 10;
The choice 'let' is analog to other languages, such as Swift, and also matches fine with mathematical articles, where it is often used to describe constant values as well.
