Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am trying to setup a testing phase that would run tests on the Emulator by connecting to it. The Emulator is prepared using TestContainers which don't open specific ports, but rather random. Because of this I cannot use the environment variable specified as that blocks me into selecting a hostname and port.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Make the hostname and port dynamic when initialising FirebaseAuth / FirebaseApp.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
-
**Additional context**
### Expected usage
```
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(firebaseApp()).useEmulator('localhost', '9099')
```
For example, Firestore has this enabled using `FirestoreOptions.newBuilder().setEmulatorHost()`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing FirebaseAuth and FirebaseApp initialization, then compare the existing FirestoreOptions.setEmulatorHost() approach. The work is done when FirebaseAuth.getInstance(firebaseApp()).useEmulator('localhost', '9099') accepts a custom hostname and port for emulator connections, including dynamically assigned TestContainers endpoints.
