Added external_samples/spark_mini.py that wraps the wpilib.SparkMini class.

Changed component class names to be consistent with the external_samples python files.

Updated generated json files.

Added function addInstanceComponentBlocks to mrc_call_python_function.ts to generate component function blocks.
Updated function getBlocks in blocks_components.ts to use addInstanceComponentBlocks.
