Description

The older Datastore emulator is now considered "legacy", and the firestore emulator is what Google is using moving forward. Please add this container, and also have the option for --database-mode=datastore-mode.

testcontainers-node already has this container.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Datastore emulator container in testcontainers-python and the corresponding Firestore container in testcontainers-node. Add the Firestore emulator with support for --database-mode=datastore-mode, then add or update tests showing the container starts and the option is passed through.
