vala-gen-project should normalize project name according to automake rules.

From the vala ML:

and if you choose the project name like "instant", Upper case of "instant" 
might be different from English one :) gen-project makes the project name 
variable as "İNSTANT" :)

Project name should be checked to verify that it contains only characters 
allowed by autotools.

Also when doing uppercase conversions the non utf8 variant of strup should be 
used: g_ascii_strup
