ERC721 Signature Mint

The ERC721SignatureMint smart contract uses the ERC721Base base contract along with the SignatureMintERC721 contract extension.

The 'signature minting' mechanism in the SignatureMintERC721 extension uses EIP 712, and is a way for a contract admin to authorize an external party's request to mint tokens on the admin's contract.

At a high level, this means you can authorize some external party to mint tokens on your contract, and specify what exactly will be minted by that external party.
