Allow the parent project to supply the value for properties:
* use content merge
* require contributor agreement
* require change id
* require signed off by
This makes it easier to configure a large number of projects, as
the properties can be defined once on the parent and inherited.
This commit modifies the default behavior when the variable is not
defined in project.config, it now inherits from the parent rather
than being false.
