[online_image] Use rp2_arduino framework key after rp2040->rp2 rename

dev renamed the rp2040 platform to rp2 (framework key rp2040_arduino ->
rp2_arduino). Propagate that into the online_image file platform, whose
framework-version guard was relocated here during the image platform
refactor and so was not covered by the rename on dev.
