Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current RP 2040 pico svg is a green blob, and there are no pin mappings.

Describe the solution you'd like
Let's use the nice SVG from here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/pico-series.html
and get the pins mapped so the breadboard works too!

Additional context
Noting this as a feature request as I/we want to start working on it.

Research direction

Start with the Raspberry Pi Pico documentation linked in the issue to obtain the appropriate SVG and pin layout, then locate the Maker target's board and breadboard definitions. The work is done when the Pico uses the new board graphic, its pins are mapped, and the breadboard integration works correctly.
