Use `org-not-nil' to interpret a property value of nil.

The problem was here that the value of the property is the string
"nil", which is of course not nil.
This patches introduces a special case to interpret "nil" as nil.
* lisp/babel/langs/ob-emacs-lisp.el
(org-babel-expand-body:emacs-lisp): removed extra call to
`org-babel-process-params' which was causing referenced code blocks
to be run multiple times
(org-babel-execute:emacs-lisp): now passing processed-params through
to `org-babel-expand-body:emacs-lisp' which keeps references from
being evaluated multiple times
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-timestamps): No errors
while getting TODO state.
(org-agenda-highlight-todo): No error when no keyword has
been matched.

Thanks to Bernt Hansen for pointing this out

Worked perfectly here :)
I tested all my important templates and they work.
Abandoning org-remember seems painless.

This is great. Number of templates is constantly growing and the new
features will increase the speed of this process.

Good track I guess.
Here's the tested and working patch for org-protocol.el.
To use `org-remember' and/or `org-capture' alike, copy your org-remember
link and change
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://remember://'+...
to
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://'+...
The template char used is the same for both --- which is OK for me, but
could be changed.
* lisp/org.el (org-timestamp-change): New optional argument UPDOWN.
Use this to identify calls from org-timestamp-up/down, so that we can
skip by rounding minutes in this case.
(org-timestamp-up):
(org-timestamp-down):
(org-timestamp-up-day):
(org-timestamp-down-day): Call org-timestamp-change with the
updown argument.
This function used to look only if there was a prefix argument in the
current interactive call. Now we have an explicit marker indicating
that the function is called from the updown commands.
