Is your feature request/improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Some people don't have a ST-Link or a regular USB-to-UART adapter, but have a e.g. Raspberry Pi Pico, which can be easily programmed (drag and drop firmware file onto USB drive) to be a CMSIS-DAP compliant debugger and UART probe.
However, this core fails to support upload via CMSIS-DAP.
Describe the solution you'd like
Include the xPack OpenOCD package and add the upload action for every board with -f interfaces/cmsis-dap.cfg. Using OpenOCD also greatly expands the number of other usable uploaders and debugging methods (e.g., JLink).
PlatformIO can already do this perfectly fine.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the UART upload with the Pico: Slower, plus you have to constantly switch the bootloader jumpers between 0 and 1 for bootloader or firmware run mode
Make people buy an actual ST-Link: Why, when they have a perfectly capable CMSIS-DAP
