Upgrade to TestContainers 1.16.0

What's Changed

Testcontainers 1.16.0 is here! tada

This release brings many small fixes and improvements; among them:
Better M1 Mac compatibility

Users of M1 Mac will be pleased to know that Testcontainers now falls back to pulling x86_64 images when ARM64 images are unavailable, meaning that Docker's QEMU compatibility mode will be used to run the image. It's not perfect - not every image runs under QEMU. However, this allows Testcontainers users with M1 Macs to use more images than they could previously.

If possible, users should use recently published images for their dependencies which have a native ARM64 variant, rather than relying on QEMU emulation.
Startup performance and reliability improvements

Some issues affecting container startup time and reliability (especially with Docker for Windows) have been fixed.

Additionally, this release uses the latest version of docker-java and uses an Apache HttpClient5 transport by default. This resolves bugs encountered by some users when the previous default transport (okhttp) relating to image pulling.

As always, thank you to our many users and contributors!
