Description
Title says it all, i'd like to be able to switch around the order of the gui elements like the tabbar, buffer, infobar, and message/commandbar, for instance i'd like to have the infobar above the buffer, and tabbar, if present, above that, i think one way to make this intuitive is an option not unlike statusformat that tells micro where to order the displayed elements, where the default would be "tabbar,buffer,statusbar,keymenu,infobar,commandbar" or something along these lines, whereas my desired order is "tabbar,statusbar,infobar,buffer,keymenu,commandbar"
this 'menus' or 'gui order' option could even deprecate the current per-element on/off options, as you can turn off or on the elements by adding them or not to the menus option

Research direction
Start by tracing how micro renders the tabbar, buffer, infobar, statusbar, keymenu, and commandbar. Determine where their current order and per-element visibility options are defined; done means users can configure the ordering, retain the stated default order, and omit elements when desired.
