Description

When importing like this:

from testcontainers.postgres import PostgresContainer
from testcontainers.redis import RedisContainer

I get a deprecation warning , I can found one in init.py files , but there are no any ways of how to download the current , modern way.
Sorry , for a dumb question , but update docs please to avoid such cases.

Update the documentation to explain the current installation and import path for community containers, then verify that the documented examples no longer use the deprecated approach.
