Research update for HackTricks content

Summary of updates in src/pentesting-web/parameter-pollution.md:

• Added an OWASP WSTG-based HPP testing notes section, including the %26HPP_TEST reflection heuristic and guidance on duplicate parameter behavior.
• Added a new SSPP (server-side parameter pollution) section focused on internal API request injection with concrete probes and a request example.
• Added an internal cross-reference to json-xml-yaml-hacking.md to avoid duplicating parser-differential content.
• Appended two new external references relevant to HPP/SSPP testing.

URLs used as references in this update:

• https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/v42/4-Web_Application_Security_Testing/07-Input_Validation_Testing/04-Testing_for_HTTP_Parameter_Pollution
• https://portswigger.net/web-security/api-testing/server-side-parameter-pollution

If you want me to expand SSPP with lab-specific payload patterns or add tooling examples (Burp/ZAP scripts), I can do that next.
