James Kuszmaul e017f93f16 Fixed examples to build/run with new WPILib versions.
Also added some references/smart pointers to a couple places
that seemed convenient to the user.

I haven't updated the constructors for RobotDrive() related
examples, pending the results of gerrit change https://usfirst.collab.net/gerrit/#/c/960/

A few things that we are noticing:
--It might be nice if ReturnPIDInput() didn't have to be const;
  when people try to override it, they have to remember to put
  the const in and if they don't, then the compiler error isn't the
  most obvious (especially since this is a change). This would also
  apply to PIDGet() in the PIDSource interface.
--SendableChooser still takes raw pointers. This could lead to an
  issue I had to debug briefly where you accidentally call
  GetSelected() on autoChooser and put the resulting raw pointer
  into a unique_ptr, which destroys the pointer when it goes out of
  scope. Specifically, I was testing the PacGoat example and
  I ended up with a situation where if auto mode was run once, it
  was fine, but if it was run twice, the selected command would
  have been destroyed by the unique_ptr. I believe that this
  just requires updating SendableChosser to take shared_ptr.
--When the samples are compiled with -pedantic, it points out that
  START_ROBOT_CLASS macro expansion results in a redundant semicolon.

/**
* This sample program shows how to control a motor using a joystick. In the operator
* control part of the program, the joystick is read and the value is written to the motor.
*
* Joystick analog values range from -1 to 1 and speed controller inputs as range from
* -1 to 1 making it easy to work together. The program also delays a short time in the loop
* to allow other threads to run. This is generally a good idea, especially since the joystick
* values are only transmitted from the Driver Station once every 20ms.
