Description
What are you trying to do?
Today we can use the DockerCompose class to start a compose file
Podman has a unique feature called Podman Kube Play allowing you to start services, formatted in a Kubernetes-like format and run without a Kubernetes cluster, with only containers. This is very useful for workflow where a full Kubernetes cluster is not needed.
In a similar way of starting compose project, it would be nice to be able to start Podman.
Why should it be done this way?
With our Ubuntu GitHub runners, Podman is installed by default, with the Kube Play feature already available, it would ease the setup to directly have support for this feature with testcontainers.
I would be motivated to do the contribution if this is something that can be accepted

Start with core/testcontainers/compose/compose.py, especially the DockerCompose startup entry point referenced in the issue, and review the linked Podman Kube Play documentation. Determine the API and test coverage needed to start services from a Kubernetes-formatted file without a cluster; completion should demonstrate that workflow through tests.
