Manuel de la Peña b951e92f57 feat(guides): migrate all testcontainers.com guides (#24505)
## Description

Migrate 17 Testcontainers guides from testcontainers.com into the Docker
docs site, covering Java (14 guides), .NET (2 guides), and Node.js (1
guide). This follows up on PR #24450 which added the initial Go and
Python guides.

Each guide is converted from AsciiDoc to Hugo Markdown, split into
multi-chapter stepper navigation, updated to the latest Testcontainers
API, and verified with passing tests running in containers.

Java guides use testcontainers-java 2.0.4 with the new 2.x Maven
coordinates and package names (e.g., `testcontainers-postgresql`,
`org.testcontainers.postgresql.PostgreSQLContainer`). The Quarkus guide
uses Quarkus 3.22.3 with TC 1.x managed by the Quarkus BOM, since no
released Quarkus version ships TC 2.x yet.

## How to test

All code snippets have been verified by running each guide's source
repository tests inside Docker containers with the Docker socket
mounted.

To re-run the verification, use the `/testcontainers-guides-migrator`
skill included in this PR
(`.claude/skills/testcontainers-guides-migrator/SKILL.md`). The skill's
Step 6 documents the exact container commands and macOS Docker Desktop
workarounds (host override, docker-java API version, etc.) needed to run
each language's tests:

```
/testcontainers-guides-migrator I want you to verify all the guides in this branch.
Do a full review, verifying that all code snippets compile, the code is executable,
and ALL the tests pass. Run them as docker containers, never locally.
```

Run tests and next steps Run tests Run your Testcontainers-based Spring Boot Kafka integration tests and explore next steps. 30

Run the tests

$ ./mvnw test

Or with Gradle:

$ ./gradlew test

You should see the Kafka and MySQL Docker containers start and all tests pass. After the tests finish, the containers stop and are removed automatically.

Summary

Testing with real Kafka and MySQL instances gives you more confidence in the correctness of your code than mocks or embedded alternatives. The Testcontainers library manages the container lifecycle so that your integration tests run against the same services you use in production.
