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 the tests

$ ./mvnw test

Or with Gradle:

$ ./gradlew test

You should see the MockServer Docker container start in the console output. It acts as the photo service, serving mock responses based on the configured expectations. All tests should pass.

Summary

You built a Spring Boot application that integrates with an external REST API using declarative HTTP clients, then tested that integration using the Testcontainers MockServer module. Testing at the HTTP protocol level instead of mocking Java methods lets you catch serialization issues and simulate realistic failure scenarios.
