When programming multiple (or even just one) EuroPis using the uf2 firmware, you need to remove the module from the rack and hold down the bootloader button, which makes the process a lot less convenient than it could be.

This PR adds a script to the menu which allows the user to enter bootloader mode without removing the module from the rack to make the process less clunky

Great idea to add this to the menu.

I suggested a couple of minor updates, but overall this looks good to me.
