Bug: Failure to connect to Reaper leaves stale ryuk containers, leading to container name collisions

Describe the bug

Running testcontainers in a network-isolated environment leaves stale ryuk containers. Further down this produces misleading error messages about duplicate containers.

1. Reaper._create_instance starts a new ryuk container
2. Reaper._create_instance fails to connect to the reaper container.
   Line 372 s.connect((container_host, container_port)) raises ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused
3. Reaper._create_instance leaves the container running, without assigning it to Reaper._instance
4. Test fails with Connection refused error message above
5. Next test starts
6. Reaper._create_instance attempts starting a new ryuk container. Fails with misleading error message: requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 409 Client Error: Conflict for url: http+docker://localhost/v1.55/containers/create?name=testcontainers-ryuk-6810abc7-a781-44ec-928a-2c671c8881d9. Normally this should reuse the Reaper._instance but since it was never assigned it will not realize that it is already running. The unique ID is only generated once per session.
7. Second test fails with the misleading message about duplicate ryuk containers.

To Reproduce

Run a pytest suite having at least 2 tests attempting to use testcontainers in a network-isolated environment, such as Bazel with tags=["block-network"]

BUILD.bazel

load("@rules_python//python:defs.bzl", "py_test")

py_test(
    name = "test_ryuk_repro",
    srcs = ["test_ryuk_repro.py"],
    tags = ["block-network"],
    deps = [
        "@pip//pytest:pkg",
        "@pip//testcontainers:pkg",
    ],
)

test_ryuk_repro.py

import pytest
from testcontainers.core.container import DockerContainer

def test_a():
    with DockerContainer("hello-world"):   # Fails with ConnectionError
        pass

def test_b():
    with DockerContainer("hello-world"):   # Fails with 409 Conflict error
        pass

Runtime environment

Provide a summary of your runtime environment. Which operating system, python version, and docker version are you using? What is the version of testcontainers-python you are using? You can run the following commands to get the relevant information.

Reaper._create_instance、特に372行目の接続から調査を開始し、ネットワークから隔離された環境で2テストのpytest例を使って失敗を再現してください。接続が拒否されたときに何が起こるかを追跡し、後続のテストが古いryukコンテナや、誤解を招く名前の競合による409エラーに遭遇しないことを確認してください。
