Add settings for microtype

[koppor]

I understand that your aim is high quality documentation. My aim is to get this thing usable in non-trivial cases. One of the driving force for this project is lack of time though.

I don't think that's enough to warrant inclusion in the default rules.

I wasn't suggesting that your documentation was bad. I was saying that if the given reason was really accurate (recommended without any further reasoning), then it probably shouldn't be imposed on all users of pkgloader.

And as it turns out, that answer was dated anyway. The microtype documentation does not recommend a loading order between microtype and fontspec because the loading order no longer matters. See page 43, the text above line 356.

I greatly appreciate that you want to help make this package better. But adding bad or unnecessary rules is counterproductive. That's the main reason I insist on good justifications for every rule.

Note that you can still use your own set of rules to augment the default ones provided in the package. Check out the docs to learn how. Though if you discover a rule that's universally useful (and can explain why), do keep those PRs coming!

I think either rules are universally applicable or not useful at all. I appreciate your reviews.

Thanks for the fix. I'll wait with this one until the other PR is also ready, so I can do them in one batch.

There shouldn't be conflicts, so you could just merge. In case, there'll be conflicts, I'll resolve them in https://github.com/mhelvens/latex-pkgloader/pull/22.
