feat(compose): add ability to get docker compose config (#669)

This PR add a new function to the
`testcontainers.compose.DockerComposer` class, `get_config` which use
`docker compose config` command for resolving and returning the actual
docker compose configuration.

This can be useful for example if you want to retrieve a connection
string you pass to your app in your docker compose in order to connect
to your database service instead of copy pasting it from your compose
file into your tests.

Also note thats its way easier to rely on docker compose config to get
you the config than trying to manually find, read and merge compose
files in specified context (I tried it first ...).

About the tests I mostly ensured the docker compose command was as
expected. This is because the config produced by the docker compose can
not always reflect exactly what is in the file. There is some
normalization/resolving which is done (even when you pass all flags to
disable them). But anyway, I'm not sure its a good idea to actually test
the behavior of the docker config command itself.

Let me know what you think of it!
