Currently TestcontainersLifecycleBeanPostProcessor starts beans sequentially, it would be nice to offer an option to start them in parallel.

Hi @philwebb , Testcontainers now supports parallel initialization of containers by passing the parallel = true to the @Testcontainers annotation. Not sure how long it has been in there, do you still think we need support for parallel initialization in the TestcontainersLifecycleBeanPostProcessor?

@AbdelHajou the parallel attribute in Testcontainers annotations is used in tests for static fields. This issue will address the parallel initialization when the container implementations are provided as a beans.
