Unable to use valum as dependency using meson with readthedocs recipe

[lennyhans]

Hi! I was trying to build the sample project using meson with subprojects but I faced a problem, the docs suggest that you should put valum dependency in this way

valum = subproject('valum').get_variable('valum')

But after reading the meson docs about subprojects they suggest to

Naming convention for dependency variables

Ideally the dependency variable name should be of _dep form. This way one can just use it without even looking inside build definitions of that subproject.

After changing that everything works

valum = subproject('valum').get_variable('valum_dep')

I think the docs are obsolete, because later I check the code and yeah, there is a file with this valum/docs/getting-started.rst that suggest the action, and also the valum/src/meson.build has the same name.

Thanks for your work!

I've adjusted the documentation accordingly. The 0.3 series still uses the previous naming scheme.
