Problem/Motivation

Unlike in Drupal 7, the D8 version of this module currently stores the signature
values as Data URI info in the database.

This could prove to be problematic given the amount of data that is stored in
the blob per signature especially on sites which generates many signatures on a
regular basis.

Steps to reproduce

View the field DB table for Signature fields.

Proposed resolution

Add an alternate "Signature File" field type which can use the same field formatter and a slightly modified widget in order to perform the same tasks, but store the data as a PNG file instead of a data blob.

This will also make it possible to migrate from Drupal 7 as the D7 version of this module stores signatures as PNG files.

Remaining tasks

Apply the provided patch.
