Help: Fix wrong return values for unset inherited properties

Since ff6234509e (Help: Clarify behavior of INHERITED properties, 2018-03-21),
the docs for some get_..._property() commands incorrectly describe
the behavior for inherited properties. When a property is not set, even
in a parent scope, the returned result from the get_..._property()
command is the same whether the property is inherited or not.
The docs incorrectly stated that an empty string would be returned
for inherited properties in such cases.
