block: bd_start_claiming cleanup

I don't like the subtle multi-context code in bd_claim (ie.  detects where it
has been called based on bd_claiming). It seems clearer to just require a new
function to finish a 2-part claim.

Also improve commentary in bd_start_claiming as to how it should
be used.
