SPL Token docs add a non-fungible token recipe

On October 14, 2020, a commit titled "Add NTF documentation" added an example to the SPL Token docs showing how to create a non-fungible token: create a token, mint one, then disable further minting. Nineteen minutes later Solana co-founder Raj Gokal posted that "you can create non-fungible tokens on @solana now", linking to the example. Two days later the LSD token, which Bonfida went on to auction as an NFT, was created with the same steps.
