group: remove unneeded normalize_weak in secp256k1_ge_is_valid_var

After calculating the right-hand side of the elliptic curve equation
(x^3 + 7), the field element `x3` has a magnitude of 2 (1 as result of
`secp256k1_fe_mul`, then increased by 1 due to `secp256k1_fe_add_int`).
This is fine for `secp256k1_fe_equal_var`, as the second parameter only
requires the magnitude to not exceed 31, and the normalize_weak call can
hence be dropped.
