What happened?

Expected behavior
When pulling a Docker image that only provides a linux/amd64 platform, Testcontainers should automatically fall back to linux/amd64 on ARM-based hosts (e.g. Apple Silicon Macs), as it already does for DockerClientException and NotFoundException.

Actual behavior
Registries like JFrog Artifactory may return:
com.github.dockerjava.api.exception.InternalServerErrorException: Status 500: {"message":"no image found in manifest list for architecture \"arm64\", variant \"v8\", OS \"linux\""}

While the 500 Internal server error from JFrog is arguably misleading/incorrect I still think testcontainers should provide an option to specify the arch or fallback strategy outside of using a direct image SHA.

Relevant log output

Additional Information

Issue has great similarity to:
issues/9214:pull/9200
but I am unsure if it qualifies as a bug or an enhancement.

Would love to get some input. Won't fix is a very valid response as the issue is primarily JFrog related.
