Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::SSM::Parameter

### Resource name

_No response_

### Description

Requesting to add the support for `aws:ssm:integration` DataType in AWS::SSM::Parameter. Currently, CloudFormation supports only two data types - `text` and `aws:ec2:image` while the PutParameter API call supports `aws:ssm:integration` data type as well.

It's understandable the using `aws:ssm:integration` DataType requires the parameter to be of type SecureString which is also not supported by CloudFormation yet and there already exists a [feature request](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/82) for the same. Therefore, once CloudFormation starts supporting the SecureString type parameter, please add the support for `aws:ssm:integration` data type as well.

Research direction

Start with AWS::SSM::Parameter and compare the CloudFormation-supported DataType values with the PutParameter API, focusing on the dependency described in feature request #82. Done means CloudFormation supports SecureString and then accepts aws:ssm:integration for the parameter DataType.
