Description

I'm in the process of adding some convenience functionality into astroquery to do SSA queries for IRSA. Our serverside SSA implementation support the following parameters, however many of these are not being handled by pyvo, so at the moment I can only ignore them (even though some of the same parameters are handled by pyvo's SIA:

```
POS
SIZE
BAND
TIME
COLLECTION
RESPONSEFORMAT
FORMAT
SPECRP
PUBDID
TARGETNAME
TIMERES

```

Ideally we should be able to handle all parameters in thethe recommended and optional list in 4.1.2 of the standard: https://www.ivoa.net/documents/SSA/20120210/REC-SSA-1.1-20120210.pdf

Research direction

Start by locating pyvo's SSA query handling and compare its supported parameters with section 4.1.2 of the SSA 1.1 standard linked in the issue. Done means the recommended and optional parameters listed in the issue are handled for SSA queries, consistently with the existing SIA support where applicable.
