@export_category conflicts with autoload singletons

Issue description

This isn't a massive issue, but caused a few hours of confusion for me.

I have an autoload singleton named "Network", and I'm accessing it in my player script. After organizing my code a bit with @export_category, I created a category named "Network", and was getting "Invalid get index 'blah' (on base: 'Nil')."

It seems that creating an export category creates some sort of nil variable that conflicts with singletons (or maybe existing variables in general).

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an autoload singleton
2. On any scene, create a script
3. In that script, create an export category with the same title as the singleton name
4. Attempt to access the singleton

• Duplicate of @export_category creates a variable that causes issues if another one has the same name #79861.
• Fixed by GDScript: Fix conflict between property and group names #78254 for future 4.2.
• Cherry-picked for future 4.1.2.

Thanks for reporting the bug nonetheless!

Sorry about that! It was late and I didn't think to check existing issues. My first time making an issue. I'll check beforehand in the future!

Thanks for the quick response
