fix(config): do not canonicalize config file path before loading (#19436)

I'm unsure why we canonicalize the config file path when loading and the
canonicalization is causing issues in #19431 because everything in the
lsp is not canonicalized except the config file (actually, the config
file is only canonicalized when auto-discovered and not whens pecified).
We also don't canonicalize module paths when loading them.

Canonicalization was added in https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/7621
