mpflash: rp2 download fails

[Josverl]

I like it!

It doesn't seem to be able to download Pico W firmware, though:

@scruss,
can you retest with v0.7.5 or newer ?
I fixes a lookup bug for the BOARD_IDs that affected both ESPxx and RP2 boards.

Download works now, thanks:

(a separate issue is that flash doesn't: I have serial ports other than MicroPython devices, and I'm fairly sure the DEC PDP-8 minicomputer hanging off /dev/ttyS0 is not a supported board)

An actual PDP-8 😁In high school computer science I was given access to a PDP-11 using scratch cards and a batch reader. The PDP-8 next to it only had a TTY and iirc only had FORTH and it's ring core memory was a bit noisy.

To ignore a serialport you can use mpflash --ignore /dev/someport or set an en variable MPFLASH_IGNORE.
