Fix path to generated proto sources when embedding #34

When embedding SAPI in an external CMake project, the version of
protobuf_generate_cpp that we lifted from upstream protobuf produces
the wrong generated file paths.

For example, given this project structure:

/parent/
+-- myproject/
+-- myproject_build/  <- CMake build directory
+-- sandboxed-api/    <- Checkout from GitHub

And a CMake file in myproject/CMakeLists.txt that embeds SAPI like
this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(SandboxedTest LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

add_subdirectory(
  ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../sandboxed-api
  ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/sandboxed-api
)

Then protobuf_generate_cpp correctly invokes the protoc compiler to
generate
/parent/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.proto.pb.cc'. However, the path of the generated source file that is passed to the C++ compiler will be /parent/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/../../myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.pb.cc. Note the duplicated project build directory component in the canonicalized version: /parent/myproject_build/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.pb.cc`.

This change simple omits the computation of any relative file paths and
simply uses _pb_PROTOC_OUT_DIR which defauls to
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, which should always contain the correct
path.
