Issue description

Autoload Scripts are also called Singletons in the docs but I do not see them in Engine.get_singleton_list() thus I cannot get them with Engine.get_singleton() when I probably should be able to.

I only see the inbuilt singletons when I print the singleton list:

["Performance", "TextServerManager", "PhysicsServer2DManager", "PhysicsServer3DManager", "NavigationMeshGenerator", "ProjectSettings", "IP", "Geometry2D", "Geometry3D", "ResourceLoader", "ResourceSaver", "OS", "Engine", "ClassDB", "Marshalls", "TranslationServer", "Input", "InputMap", "EngineDebugger", "Time", "GDExtensionManager", "ResourceUID", "WorkerThreadPool", "ThemeDB", "JavaClassWrapper", "JavaScriptBridge", "DisplayServer", "RenderingServer", "AudioServer", "PhysicsServer2D", "PhysicsServer3D", "NavigationServer2D", "NavigationServer3D", "XRServer", "CameraServer"]

Steps to reproduce

Create some Autoload Scripts in the project settings and see if they show up in Engine.get_singleton_list().

As mentioned on the issue this is documented in 4.3:

Note: Global singletons are not the same as autoloaded nodes, which are configurable in the project settings.

This should be clarified in 4.2 as well, and should also probably be clarified in the scripting documentation
