v1.0.0-beta-rc3

This release finalizes the external-facing implementation of core modules and registries, as well as the public interfaces and events.

• Split old LicensingRegistry into LicenseRegistry and LicensingModule, where the former stores and deals with all 1155-related data & actions, and the latter stores and facilitates all policy-related data & actions (#72)

• Accommodate a modifier-based approach for Access Control; Provide optionality for access control checks; and Improve other AccessController states and functionalities (#45, #63, #70)
• Enable mutable royalty policy settings to provide greater flexibility for IPAccount owners (#67, #73)
• Finalize the canonical metadata provider with flexible provisioning (#49)

• Enable multi-parent linking for derivatives (#56) and add policy compatibility checks for multi-parent and multi-derivative linking (#61, #66)
