htmlLoader property not allowed in webpack >= v2.0.0 configs

[nevcos]

I'm submitting a bug report

Webpack version:
3.3.0

HTML-Loader version:
0.4.5

Please tell us about your environment:
Windows 10 + Node 6.11.0 + NPM 5.3.0

Current behavior:
Using htmlLoader property as described on docs give the following error when calling webpack:

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration has an unknown property 'htmlLoader'. These properties are valid:

Expected/desired behavior:
Because webpack no longer accepts properties not from webpack schema, the docs should be updated to use webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin:

plugins: [
  new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
    options: {
      htmlLoader: {
       minimize: true
      }
    }
  })
]

This will likely be removed in #134 (v1.0.0) and options.minimize will work this way then

{
   test: /\.html$/,
   use: { 
     loader: 'html-loader', 
     options: { minimize: {...options} }
  }
}

Meanwhile the usage of LoaderOptionsPlugin is the correct way, but it's usage is discouraged as it was mainly meant as a migration path between webpack v1 => webpack v2 in the early days of webpack v2 :)
