Abstract Base Class Base class for external-wallet delegated signers — wallets the user owns (e.g. MetaMask, Rainbow, Phantom) where the SDK never holds keys. In Crossmint terminology, an external wallet is a flavor of delegated signer that approves operations through the user’s own wallet UI. 
abstract base class CrossmintExternalWalletSigner implements CrossmintWalletApprovalSigner
Signing goes through onSign; the signer is responsible for presenting the user whatever approval UI their wallet provides. The locator defaults to external-wallet:<address> when not provided explicitly.
