[oXygen-user] Format and indent the document on open

I can't endorse George's advice strongly enough - to set formatting options
(line length, indent length, and XML formatting rules) at the project
level. Ever since I discovered this technique and moved my team's project
file into version control, this problem of one person's format & indent
changing the whole file after another person's commit went away. (Our
project file also stores validation scenarios and a suite of external tools
that we can call from oXygen; see
https://github.com/HistoryAtState/hsg-project/wiki/setup#get-hsg-project.)

Also, we typically separate commits into two types - first, a substantive
commits, followed by a format & indent commit. This allows everyone to see
exactly what we intended to change, vs. the resulting formatting-only
changes.
