Description
To use Redis for high availability, we use Redis Sentinel and provide multiple Redis instances to configure master and slave. Redis Sentinel monitors the master instance and provides a connection to the slave when the master is unavailable.
in c# code we use ConnectionMultiplexer.SentinelConnect(sentinelConfig); to get connection for this setup.
And in our tests, we should use a sentinel connection instead of a standard connection.
Its quite complicate to configure a test container to spin up the Redis Sentinel connection and I think we should have an package for making developer life easier.
I already implemented this test container in my project, and it took me 1 day to configure (it was a lot of time, and it made me crazy).
I could send a PR for this package and save a lot of time for other developers.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Redis test-container patterns and the C# SentinelConnect(sentinelConfig) entry point described in the issue. Define the expected multi-instance Sentinel setup, then add tests showing that a Sentinel connection works and handles master unavailability. Done means developers can use the package for Redis Sentinel-based tests without repeating the configuration.
