Also adds supported family IDs to models, used to check if family is supported for SRAM loads (and RP2040 flash loads) This fixes picotool load for the universal binaries
New ones split the last RP2040 block after all the RP2350 blocks to prevent Windows errors, so fix build_rmap_uf2 to handle that
Add robustness for invalid UF2 files Allow loading BIN/ELF files into SRAM/RP2040 regardless of the guessed family ID, to match prior behaviour
Now it also ignores UF2 compatibility checks for RP2040 and SRAM binaries too

I guess some of these aren't post-load options 😉

Would there ever be a use-case for this being a separate --ignore-family-ids option rather than shoe-horning this functionality into --ignore-partitions?
If not, perhaps this wording is slightly clearer?

This adds support to
picotool loadfor loading universal binaries, and other multi-family UF2sThe existing
--familyflag can be used to select which family to load from the UF2 - otherwise it picks using the partition table, or based on the supported families for the device for RP2040 or SRAM binaries (no partition table)Also fixes
picotool infoand other command support for 2.3.0 universal binaries, which have rearranged blocks that picotool was handling incorrectlyFixes #344
