[Enhancement]: Add network connect/disconnect API to `IContainer`

[HofmeisterAn]

Problem

With Docker Engine v29, the MacAddress container setting is now obsolete in API 1.52 (moby/moby#51189) and has been moved to network endpoint settings. TC for .NET (4.10.0) provides a workaround, but a dedicated IContainer API for connecting and disconnecting networks would be a better implemenation. This API could also handle additional network endpoint settings (in addition to the MacAddress). The current workaround, e.g. only supports a single MAC address and applies it to all networks.

Solution

Add dedicated APIs to the IContainer interface and implement them.

Benefit

Allow connecting a container to multiple networks and accessing or configuring more network endpoint settings than the current implementation offers.

I'll close this. There is a new API IContainer.ConnectAsync(...). If we need additional parameters and configurations, we can add them in follow-up PRs.
