ScriptableSingleton throws a warning and error message when implementing IActiveBuildTargetChanged and switching Platforms
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project's Scene labeled "SampleScene"
2. In Build Settings (File->Build Settings), switch the active Platform to another one
3. Switch the Platform back to the initial one
4. Inspect the Console Window
Expected result: No errors nor warnings are logged
Actual result: "ScriptableSingleton already exists" error and "Manager must be instantiated using the ScriptableObject.CreateInstance method instead of new Manager." warning are thrown
Reproducible with: 2018.4.36f1, 2019.4.28f1, 2020.3.11f1, 2021.1.11f1, 2021.2.0a20
Note:
- More errors are thrown for every switched Platform

Resolution Note:
This is actually by design. Editor will always instantiate any type implementing IActiveBuildTargetChanged by itself.
If a signleton needs to intercept such an event, just create a separate class implementing IActiveBuildTargetChanged, and make it access your singleton trough "MySingletonClass.instance".
