Create switchcontext.ts ...

... to provide an easy way for EACH switchBlock to track their own caseBlock garage and all the entities within. Before, we were going to use a shared space, akin to a shared parking lot for all the switchBlocks in the "mall", with each switchBlock being akin to a store. This would have made things awkward and extremely difficult to maintain or even test safely with more than one switchBlock in use in a project/game. So, we are tackling that here and now before we wind up with s'ghetti code or worse, circular dependencies, **shudders**

This class will depend upon content, logic, and assumptions that are present in other files and classes/functions/etc.

This commit isn't to complete this step, nor to even hook it up with the main logic stream - instead, we are just placing the bricks, mortar, tools, and workers about the project so they will be ready at the time this is actually put together.
