Function to create randomized sampling points within spatial polygons, potentially with additional constraints such as roads

1	sampPoints(n, area, dmin, name = "pnt", seed = 123)

`n`	number of points desired
`area`	the spatial polygons within which points will be made
`dmin`	minimum distance between points
`name`	name to be applied to points in the form <name>_01, <name>_02, ...
`seed`	random seed

This function uses spatstat::rSSI to generate points. Note that if spatstat::rSSI cannot return the desired number of points it will issue a warning but not an error. If the desired number of points cannot be generated this is likely because dmin is too big for the area and one or both should be adjusted.

A SpatialPointsDataFrame containing randomized sampling points including a column called name that is neccesary for output to some formats
