Add MIT License

Summary

Adds an MIT license to the repository, making the project's terms of use explicit for contributors and consumers.

What changed

Area	Change
LICENSE	Added standard MIT License, copyright 2026 Testcontainers Contributors

Motivation

• Open-source clarity — without a license file, the project is technically "all rights reserved". Adding MIT removes ambiguity and aligns with the permissive licensing used by other testcontainers implementations.
• Contributor & adopter confidence — users and contributors can verify at a glance that they may freely use, modify, and redistribute the library.
