Fix 'PathDistribution' object has no attribute '_normalized_name' - Issue 61062

[piterpunk]

What does this PR do?

salt/utils/entrypoints.py was changed to use importlib.metadata when Python version is equal or higher than 3.10. For other cases, it uses importlib_metadata provided by Salt. But, in salt/_compat.py it always uses the importlib_metadata from Salt, which causes an exception.

This PR changes salt/_compat.py to use the same logic as salt/utils/entrypoints.py to choose between importlib.metadata or importlib_metadata.

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

Fixes: #61062
