Hello,

A question on Stack Overflow [1] reported an issue overriding
`org-clock-into-drawer' with properties (specifically, overriding a
global value of t with a property value nil). Looking into the function
`org-clock-into-drawer', the actual behavior did not match the
documented behavior. The attached patch should fix the issue.

Subject: [PATCH] org-clock: Fix CLOCK_INTO_DRAWER property check

* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clock-into-drawer): Fix processing of
properties so that they can override global value.

Previously, if the 'CLOCK_INTO_DRAWER' or 'LOG_INTO_DRAWER' property was
nil, the local property setting would not override the global
variable [1]. These changes make the behavior match the docstring
description ('CLOCK_INTO_DRAWER' and 'LOG_INTO_DRAWER' properties
override `org-clock-into-drawer', with 'CLOCK_INTO_DRAWER' given
precedence).
