<third_party/WebKit> Prevent a python IOError on Windows due to MAX_PATH

Running python down into the WebKit directory structure and referring
a file relatively to the build directory can easily spill over the
260 char limit on Windows.

Resolve the absolute path using join and normpath to work around the
issue.
