Fix custom_api_file with SCons 4.0.1

[dsnopek]

After #1669, I'm getting an error like this with custom_api_file:

Python `FileNotFoundError` exception

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/dsnopek/Sync/Projects/default/godot_openxr_vendors/thirdparty/godot_cpp_gdextension_api/thirdparty/godot_cpp_gdextension_api/extension_api.json':

It's looking for the file relative to the godot-cpp directory, rather than relative to the directory where the scons command was run.

This is with SCons 4.0.1, which is what comes with Ubuntu 22.04, however, if I update to SCons 4.9.1 via pip, then everything works as expected.

I did some testing (debug print() statements and all!), and it seems like the converter=normalize_path that #1669 added is running, but it doesn't seem to actually affect the value returned by env.get('custom_api_file').

This PR removes the converter and switches back to calling normalize_path directly, and everything works for me.

@Ivorforce Does your variant_dir stuff still work with this change?

[Ivorforce]

I see no reason why variant_dir shouldn't still work with this change (but I also tested and confirmed it did).
It's unfortunate this means we can't use converters for the time being, but it beats forcing ubuntu users to update the included SCons.
