Pre-release
Fix broken borrow checker for tile_blocks

The borrow rules that were being used were too permissive. To make the
existing code work, it was necessary to split make additional changes.
Instead of calling count_lrf_switchable from ContextWriter, we make it a
function of CDFContext and call it from there.
