Description

What is the new container you'd like to have?
Container for CrateDB database.

Why not just use a generic container for this?

CrateDB has it's own wait strategy as well as the need to have different setups, for example to form a cluster we'd need 3 docker instances. These would be better implemented here, upstream.

We have already a working implementation thanks to @amotl https://github.com/crate/cratedb-toolkit/blob/main/cratedb_toolkit/testing/testcontainers/cratedb.py

Review how its wait strategy and multi-instance cluster setup should fit the project; done means a supported CrateDB container with the requested setup behavior and tests.
