** [bugs:#460] default settings do not provide required settings values**

# Platform
Windows 10
Python 3.7
docutils 0.19.1b.dev

# Issue
Generating a document with the standalone reader fails with default settings.

# Example
```python
from docutils.readers import standalone
from docutils.parsers import rst
from docutils import io
from docutils.frontend import get_default_settings

from docutils import __version__

rst_src = """
A Document
----------
Simple but enough.
"""

def try_this():
    print(__version__)

    src = io.StringInput(rst_src)
    parser = rst.Parser()
    reader = standalone.Reader(parser=parser)
    settings = get_default_settings(reader)
    document = reader.read(src, parser, settings)
    
 try_this()
```

Results in:

```python
0.19.1b.dev
Traceback (most recent call last):
 line 19, in try_this
    document = reader.read(src, parser, settings)
 
 ...
 
File "docutils/parsers/rst/states.py", line 607, in init_customizations
    if settings.pep_references:
AttributeError: 'Values' object has no attribute 'pep_references'
```
