Description

Part of https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-microbit/issues/6138

The AI sometimes sends variable and function ids instead of block ids. I've tried to minimize this in the prompt, but it still happens every now and again. We can probably detect this in our front-end and "repair" the ID. For example, for a function id, we can just point to the function block. And if it's a variable id and that variable is only used in one block, we can point there.
