[Bug]: TESTCONTAINERS_CHECKS_DISABLE doesn't stop alpine image from being pulled

Module

Core

Testcontainers version

1.21.3

Using the latest Testcontainers version?

Yes

Host OS

Ubuntu

Host Arch

x86

Docker version

Docker version 20.10.15, build fd82621

What happened?

When setting TESTCONTAINERS_CHECKS_DISABLE, the Alpine image is still being pulled. It is therefore necessary to set TESTCONTAINERS_TINYIMAGE_CONTAINER_IMAGE to something that my CI (Jenkins) can access, in order to pull that image. The docs state that if TESTCONTAINERS_CHECKS_DISABLE is true, this shouldn't happen

まず、Core の初期化中に TESTCONTAINERS_CHECKS_DISABLE がどのように処理されるか、また alpine:3.17 イメージの pull がどこでトリガーされるかを追跡します。報告されたログと、無効化されたチェックに関するドキュメントの動作を照合して確認し、設定が有効な場合に Alpine イメージが pull されないよう、カバレッジを追加または更新します。
