Issue description

Clearing an exported Node using the drop down menu does not clear the property, when in a script which runs in editor using @tool

@export var annotation_node:Node = null

Additionally, if exporting a property of type Node with _get_property_list(), results in error when pressing the clear button:

Trying to assign value of type 'NodePath' to a variable of type 'Node'.

Because of the error I believe the issue is probably similiar as in: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/62481. (As the issue says, currently the reset arrow works and set the variable to Nil correctly.)

In fact when printing the type of the value in _set, it gives Object when setting a node, Nil when resetting with the arrow, and NodePath when pressing clear button in the drop down.

For Node exported with @export, when pressing the clear button will not print anything in it's setter, as if the setter is not called:

@export var annotation_node:Node:
    set(value):
        print(type_string(typeof(value)))
        annotation_node = value

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a script which runs in editor with @tool
2. Export a property of type Node with @export var node:Node or using get_property_list().
3. Assign a node to it.
4. Press the Clear button in the drop down menu.
5. Observe as the value is not cleared

Does it work in 4.3?

Same behaviour on v4.3.beta3.official [82cedc83c]

If you remove @tool, the node can be cleared normally.
