Describe the bug

When using Aspire 9.5 .Net 10 PostgreSQL 18 to create a new database with an owner role using WithCreationScript a FATAL error is logged when the Postgres container starts saying "FATAL: database "mydatabase" does not exist".

Maybe postgres.AddDatabase("mydatabase") should be overload to take no database name if using .WithCreationScript as this can be used to create a new database with PgSQL statements (see below) as it is very normal to need to create a new database with a different owner user/role than the default Postgres user/role.

Everything still works but a FATAL error is being logged and could be a problem. If above fix it not possible, how about making this a WARNING log message.

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var postgres = builder.AddPostgres("postgres")
.WithImageTag("18.0-alpine")
.WithPgAdmin(pgAdmin => pgAdmin.WithImageTag("latest"));

var postgresdb = postgres.AddDatabase("mydatabase")
.WithCreationScript("BEGIN; CREATE ROLE my_user WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'my_password'; COMMIT; CREATE DATABASE mydatabase WITH OWNER my_user;");

var cache = builder.AddRedis("cache");
