[Enhancement]: Support for custom .dockerignore files

[pvervaet]

Problem

In my buildcontext there live several dockerfiles. Each one has it's own dockerignore file.
It seems like there is no way to specify a custom dockerignore file at the moment.
Would it be possible to support the standard approach for dockerignore files? https://docs.docker.com/build/building/context/#dockerignore-files

Solution

• Either support the custom naming convention and automatically pick the right dockerignore file
• Or have a way to specify the file .WithDockerignore("/somefolder/custom.Dockerfile.dockerignore")

Benefit

• Support basic docker functionality
• Many dockerfiles will be useable within one context. Now it's more or less impossible.

Alternatives

I see the 2 proposed solutions as only options

I am not going to implement this soon, but if someone would like to implement this feature in the meantime, I would like to provide some guidance. The .dockerignore file name is passed to the Tar(CancellationToken) member here:

testcontainers-dotnet/src/Testcontainers/Images/DockerfileArchive.cs

Line 129 in b5c926a

 var dockerIgnoreFile = new DockerIgnoreFile(dockerfileDirectoryPath, ".dockerignore", dockerfileFilePath, _logger); 

We need to pass the correct file name. We can (probably) simply check whether a specific ignore file exists for the Dockerfile or not.

I have a branch ready with this change but I get an error when trying to push the branch:

Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error.
Git failed with a fatal error.
unable to access 'https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-dotnet.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I have to be made contributer or something @HofmeisterAn ?
